It doesn't matter.  The flags are always going to be set.  Why bother
clearing them when you always set them?

Well, when it changes we can change the code to set/clear the flags
according to the buffer management algorithm.

Why?  Like I said in the previous message, they aren't part of any network
status.  They are buffer control flags and need to properly indicate how the
buffers are managed, not cleared as part of network status.
