I'm not that experienced with git but willing to learn more if needed.  These changes were made, again, to benefit ELSA searching/grouping and for the Bro correlation script recently released.

You might be right in how you’ve done this.  I never felt very comfortable with how this ended up getting implemented.  I’ll file a ticket and see if I can address the ones you’ve pointed out and see if there are anymore.  I’ll probably also mark the src and dst fields as deprecated and maybe do a reporter message if they’re ever used (to give people a bit of breathing room before we break any existing scripts they have).

Here’s the ticket in case you or anyone else wants to comment on it:

Great suggestion, thanks!
