Yes. As implemented, the size of the header is constant across
packets. If both sides negotiate the feature, then all headers reserve
space, whether or not the specific packet has a timestamp.
So far headers are fixed size. I suppose we could investigate variable
size headers. This goes back to our discussion in the previous
patchset, that we can always add a packed-header feature later, if the
number of optional features reaches a size that makes the complexity
worthwhile.

Just that it becomes an onion of struct inside structs. I can change
if you prefer.

As always, thanks for reviewing, Jason.
