I think we should leave this as it is, primarily for the reason that this is an unnecessary constraint.  The efficiency argument isn't strong for non-frame use cases, and the loss of flexibility can be an issue. @larseggert might have trouble with forcing packet lengths to be minimally represented, for the same reason as @nibanks.

On changing the long header packet size to 2 bytes, we discussed in #1577 and decided against it.
