That delegates the complexity from wireshark to me but while I know
about the linux conventions, I don't know about windows or MacOS and
it's not like I can test the outcome (but outside con). If I could use
a wireshark flag, I would have the guarantee it works on all the
platforms supported by wireshark.

I am fine with disabling everything. I was just mentioning the possibility.
Is there some work done on this I could follow ? or should I open a
ticket on the tracker ?

Cheers
Matt
