Maybe when we get a random id generator that doesn't cause a repeat
nearly quite so early ?

I'm not sure whether you're trying to say that it should just be
removed or not :), but definately if it is repeating in 38 packets,
that is a serious problem, IMHO.

The more this particular feature is analysed, the more it is clear
that it did not receive sufficient review/testing before it got put
in NetBSD, which itself speaks volumes for the quality process that
OpenBSD uses (or doesn't use.)  Maybe core@ should be asked to request
it be removed until it is in satisfactory shape to add ?
