This is the wrong place to discuss libpcap changes; libpcap is not part of
Wireshark and is not intended only to be used by Wireshark.

The best ways to discuss a change to libpcap are either to make a pull request
and do the discussion there, to add a non-pull-request issue for libpcap on
GitHub and do the discussion there, or to post a message to
[email protected].

The advantage of the first of those is that the changes are visible from the
pull request and line comments can be made; it's the equivalent of a Gerrit
discussion for Wireshark changes.

If you want to discuss the change at a layer above the actual code layer,
either a non-pull-request issue or a mail message to tcpdump-workers would be
appropriate (just as, for Wireshark, a bug or mail message to wireshark-dev
would be appropriate).
