has landed in Chrome 98.0.4701.0

This means SDP with a mid attribute
 a=mid:<something>
that is longer than 16 bytes will be rejected with an error.

Given that Chrome was crashing when encountering such a mid in RTP packets we don't believe this will break anything.

After more than a year, the limit is going to be lowered to the spec-mandated 16 again in M110:

This should not have impact, there does not seem to be usage of this.
As usual, please test in Chrome Canary.
