We should leave it there so that this value is not accidently
allocatod to another purpose.

If you really really want to remove it, at least add a comment
there that value "6" used to be allocated to PACKET_FASTROUTE,
and therefore cannot be reused.

But, to be honest, keeping the define there serves that purpose just
as well.
