This would clean up the colorization. In fact this was essentially what I
proposed initially. However, after reading responses on this list I realized
that a short circuit colorization rule only masks the issue. It also reduces
(eliminates) the usefulness of colorization relative to sFlow since any
details (which could have been colorized) will also be masked by the short
circuit rule.

This is really just a variation of the above. Instead of just adding one
short circuit rule you could add "!sFlow && " to the front of all the color
rules.
So this also works, except that...
a) I'm lazy and don't want to remember to add "!sflow" to *every* filter
I write. ;-)
b) If my filter could apply to sFlow and non sFlow packets this will mask
the match just as with colorization.

Yes, with the above caveats.
