Thanks, applied.

That would require a correctly behaving station to transmit 4095 frames
between the two Authentication frames to get the same sequence number
again and then fail to get the first TX attempt through to get Retry=1..
So yes, I think we can safely consider this to be unlikely enough even
if a STA were to misbehave. There would also be clear recovery mechanism
by the STA likely retrying authentication if no response is received.
