True, but not in struct sock.
When you edit the layout of struct sock you assume
the full responsibility that you might be breaking
something that uses struct sock. This includes
third party modules.
You shouldn't be making changing to it lightly. How this made TCP
blow up is the negative feedback you get for trying to change struct
sock ;-)
