Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 9933] Questionable calling of ethernet dissector by encaps

Comment # 2 on bug 9933 from
The tricky thing with that is we'll break any Lua script that called that
dissector before... though arguably they probably shouldn't have been, for the
same reasons as the bug. But I know some scripts do call it today.

Also, how do external third-party plugins call dissectors?  If it's through the
name lookup method then same problem for them. (though we don't seem to care as
much about plugin compatibility :)
