There is a similar problem in sctp and so it would indeed be useful to have a (configuration)
option. Without the `unload hack' there is no module unloading and that is very bad, especially
since DCCP development is likely to continue (there is no single consistent, full DCCP implementation
yet, so testing will be one prime activity).
