Yes, this is very unfortunate.  They made the loudest noise about
wanting the change, yet they aren't even responsible enough to submit
the HDLC patches necessary to make use of it.  This was apparently
needed to fix HDLC, so where's the followup?

This is why the HDLC "maintainers" shouldn't be surprised if we flat
out ignore them the next time they complain about anything.  They
have proven that they are pure whiners.
