Thanks for reminding me. I wasn't sure anymore but it certainly makes sense to 
drop the flag and look at the PCUIIF version number instead.

I think this would then make using the struct at the BSC side more complicated, 
but I am not entirely sure. The thing is that this value ends up at 
extract_paging_group and this function does a str_to_imsi(imsi_digit_buf) with 
the value, which then ends up at libosmocore:gsm0502_calc_paging_group, which 
gets the IMSI as an uint64_t. If we can feed gsm0502_calc_paging_group() the 
pgroup value from here directly then we can use an uint16_t.

(what makes me wonder a bit is that gsm0502_calc_paging_group() returns an 
unsigned int but we store the returned paging group in an uint8_t.)

The message in the direction towards the BSC is sent as data_req under the SAPI 
PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH_DT. For the confirmation we have specific message types. That 
is the reason why there is no data_dt.

(see above, we still needed it, but hopefully not very long.)

If we drop it now, then the PCU will become incompatible with osmo-bts. As far 
as I remember we decided to add a deprecation warning and upgrade osmo-bts 
later. Its easy to remove the code pathes later so lets not get blocked by the 
BTS part and keep compatibility for now.

I have reworked this part and added the deprecation note. I also have created a 
ticket for the BTS part now.
