I corrected myself a long time ago. What I said here is nothing I haven't
said before. What I said originally was based on what we expected, but
real testing and reports from others indicated there was, as a general
case, an advantage to having both. But it still wasn't as good has
just running Stac alone. I haven't checked lately, but I even asked
engineering to NOT disallow Stac when V.42bis was used - back before 3.7.
I never got around to checking what 3.7.x does in this regard though.
