Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Thoughts on disabling an old dissector

This was originally filed as bug 9569. The situation is sufficiently
unusual that I really don't know what the best solution is, so I
figured I'd ask for general comments from the list. The company who
created and used the TPNCP protocol (and submitted the packet-tpncp.c
dissector) wants to reuse that name for a new, different protocol and
are asking us to disable the old dissector to avoid conflicts. The bug
has more detail.
