Yes, a very interesting question!
The three approved amendments define new PHY layers. All of the 
currently defined PHYs share a maximum PSDU size of 127.
There are some added MAC features to support new PHY features but the 
basic MAC has not changed.
Perhaps a more specific question is, what features of the PHYs and MAC 
does 6LoWPAN depend on to work?
