Ok. Should I hide the new behavior under a sysctl, turned off by
default? It isn't destructive however. Is there any available test
to verify whether any check is broken with new code?

The other change I'm planning to do is the following - if the
original PADI had empty Service-Name, and we are servicing a
specific Service-Name, then return remove empty one from PADO,
returning only our specific Service-Name.

I did the draft of this change at the D-Link office, too, while their
guy was testing different gear against current FreeBSD. :)
