That option would work for login, but I think we'd still need the C bit
around for FFP negotiations for all the reasons the WG previously
considered when coming up with the multi-PDU support in Text messages.

While we could make the login PDU size larger for login, I'd say stick
with the C bit technique. I think we need it for FFP, so we might as well
use it for login.

Take care,
