It's the solution to Sergej's "problem" which is "I don't want to see
tactical calls from my feed."

OK, so, can we end this thread? The onus here is on you Sergej. You seem
to be the only one that sees this as an issue. Everyone else is OK with
the default APRS-IS behavior. So, this means that the fix needs to be
done by you. I see three possible solutions here:

* Build a solution that filters out tactical calls from the APRS-IS feed.
* Establish an authenticated alternative to APRS-IS in which people
can't use tactical calls and the packets can be traced.
* Find a way to rewrite the APRS standard to support an easy way to
identify tactical calls.
