This must not be changed under any circumstances. It is exported to
and used by userspace. (Except perhaps for NFPROTO_DECNET, which
refers to a quite dead protocol that I think no user parts have ever
used NFPROTO_DECNET.) I would consider it acceptable to change the
value for NFPROTO_DECNET if Pablo joins.
