Ok thanks for the explanation, that makes it clear why and this
certainly indicates that the hex version are the "right" way.
Then I'd suggest to put both encode_hex decode_hex version in
libosmocore and put a note deprecating use of the decimal version
since they can't be used to support all mnc/mcc combination like they
should. This way we avoid writing new software against functions that
have these limitations.
Sounds good to everyone ? If no objections, I'll do that.
Cheers,
Sylvain
