The side effect is that it would use more bytes per tcp connection (4 or 8) and that global runtime timeout changes (e.g. sercmd cfg.set_now_int tcp connection_lifetime 120 ) will not affect anymore existing connection, only new ones.
I think the change would be quite trivial, but still I would need some volunteer testers and it's also pretty late for sr3.0.
i can live with this either way. i would thus let daniel to decide, because it is k compatibility that is affected the most.
