I think it is more important to get a protocol together that interops than to bikeshed forever on tiny details - and yes I think this is a rather tiny detail all things considered as I believe we all can live with what we have right now - even if it hurts a little bit more for some. And I think muxing and prio are two fundamental parts of the protocol that large frames don't really play nicely with.
