Technically there is no need to non-delta on any packet. It was added
for the first packets (connect req and the reply) to allow interaction
with old system. This is now obsolete since we renumbered the packets
anyway.

So there is now a reason why the non-delta should stay in place (to
allow interaction with other delta systems) there is no need to add
more non-delta packets.
