Re: MUST accept 32 bit lols everywhere?

Keep in mind that part of the reason for going to the new length headers
is that we were running out of tag values.  The old PGP "CTB" had only
16 possible tags.  Getting rid of the "length of length" field added two
more bits allowing 64 possible packet types.  So whatever new proposals
are considered for OP V2, we should not retain the original "lol" field.
