Because none of us, as far as I know, have ever seen a libpcap Frame
Relay capture file and, as such, don't know whether different OSes with
Frame Relay support put different link-layer headers into them (meaning
that either libpcap needs *more than one* DLT_ type for Frame Relay, or
that Ethereal, tcpdump, etc. would need to use some heuristic to figure
out which link-layer header is in a capture file, and also don't know
what the various headers contain.
If somebody wants support for reading Frame Relay libpcap captures,
they'd have to send us a capture file (and tell us on what OS it was
captured, so we know which OS's link-layer headers are in it).
