Overriding a builtin dissector

[Jason Cohen <kryojenik2 () gmail com>]

I've already asked some of this privately, but submitting to the full list
for archival as well.

Is there a way or any thoughts of being able to override an existing,
built-in dissector?

The specific case in point being the f5ethtrailer dissector recently was
included as a built-in.  Would it be possible to offer a plugin that
"replaced" the existing dissector to support the new formats?  What is
Wiresharks policy on submitted updates to protocol dissectors?  Would
changes go out in the next minor / maint release, or would they have to
wait for a major relase?

Jason
