Well I think it should be enabled by default, any dissector doing decryption
won't appriciate replay and also if the payload is part of a fragmented payload
it might still mess with the dissector.
So for DCE RPC, SSL it's definetively a 'yes' for enabled by default for the
rest I can't say. If nobody oppose I think it should be made default if there
is a few procotols that it proves to be a bad idea then why not having an
option on those protocol to still call subdissector.

Ok that's working this way, but does wireshark handle out of order ? If not we
can keep this bug open.
