The risk is that some hardware implementations may check those fields and then fail to generate time stamps. In the case of the PTP minor version field, there are already two known bad HW devices that fail when the field is non-zero. Of course, this violates 1588-2008, but it proves the point that vendors don't follow the standard. As a result, customers of those vendors get on our list and complain the linuxptp is broken!
