Assuming

	1) somebody gets the time to look at the code and check it in;

	2) the person who implemented the capability was fully aware
	   that a circular buffer scheme does not work *at all* well
	   with "Update list of packets in real time" and has coped with
	   that (e.g., by simply *not supporting* captures that throw
	   out old packets when you're doing an "Update list of packets
	   in real time" capture);

it'll get done at some point.
