Hello everybody,

with revision 2075 I was finally able to introduce dual protocol support, 
which makes it possible for us to support the legacy protocol as well as make 
changes to the current protocol.

One thing that I would like to change is to remove the scrambling from network 
packets. I guess it was once introduced by id to make it harder to reverse 
engineer their network protocol. Well this point is moot now. It doesn't 
really defend against MITM attacks anyways.

So is there still any use in it, apart from hogging CPU resources for the 
scrambling? Can I safely remove it?
