Agreed. There has to be a good reason to limit consideration of
what bearers to use, and the default without such a good reason
(which I am not aware of) is anything that works. Which means
that actually it doesn't even have to be a radio bearer. If in
an ad hoc network some links are wired, it may still be convenient
to treat them as ad hoc links. (And that also is not just keeping
options open for the sake of doing so.)
