How about packing the setup/codebook together into a single packet, but
allowing comments to be sent at will? In effect, we treat entirely
separate the comment and setup/codebook packets.
Personally I don't use comments, but I think it's a good feature to keep
(or, said another way, I don't see a compelling reason to remove it
entirely).
