Wireshark 1.0.2 is a maintenance release of 1.0.0--it is basically
1.0.0

for more info.
Basically rev 25123 should be in the next non-1.0 release (e.g., 1.2).
One person's bug fix is another person's enhancement.
If the extended format trace files are common enough or will be more
common in the short term, and if the eyesdn changes aren't too
complex, one could perhaps argue that the inability of Wireshark
1.0[.x] to read the extended format trace files is a bug.
(A completely *new* trace file format probably doesn't belong in
1.0[.x]. An enhancement to an *existing* trace file format to handle
new stuff that will show up within the lifetime of 1.0[.x] might
belong in 1.0[.x].)
