Aaahh great ... happy to hear that.

Well then I'll definitely go the path of using these binary test-data files and 
as they will have the ending ".pcapng" I guess most people will immediately 
know what they are and we'll also point it out in the readme or where it fits 
best.

know what they are.
    
    Totally fine, yep.
    The reasoning is, we can't vote on binary _code_, only the source.
    If the binary data is test data, there is nothing to _code_ to verify.
    There are plenty of examples. We don't vote on JPEGs and PNGs either ;)
