Not if we can get then into 2.2 in time.
 
It seems like the bugs that were created by the first refactoring have been 
fixed, so maybe its time to think about the next layer.  When I was last 
working on it my big concern was option "datatypes".  The existing blocks that 
were refactored didn't have too much variety and were mostly strings and 
integers which was easy enough to handle.  It seems like a generic solution 
would involve something like what we have with ftypes (registering datatypes 
with their handlers) and that seemed like a lot of work.  Maybe now is the time 
to discuss alternate ideas?

in libwiretap

So we'll probably be making incompatible API changes to the libwiretap code in 
future releases, such as 2.4.0, to handle some of these issues.
