I don't really care much how Retry is protected, whether it is a checksum at the end or the Initial format, but aside from Version Negotiation, it is the only packet without self-contained integrity checks. That is a pain when forwarding packets, for example over a bluetooth or USB serial gateway. Now you have to add a packet version specific framing layer and since packets can be coalesced, that makes it all the more fun.
