I cannot see how that would be affected, IMHO.  The
only potential concern I would have is if someone saw
('snooping', 'tcpdumping', or 'birdwatching') the evil
bit active on an actively carried packet and 'dropped'
the carrier.  This would result in an increase in data
loss and depopulation of the carriers....
