seems like a reasonable thing, but, there is some risk that might prevent us turning this on however, because we often like our hardware to discard bad frames because (especially) long ones can use quite a few buffers. I still am generally uncomfortable with this idea. We've survived a long time without it and it opens up the possibility of extra bugs (like possible security issues, etc) with very little opportunity for worthwhile gain.
