Indeed, it's not used in the tutorial and the text reads "A packet is
sent to a foreign host with enet_peer_send(). enet_peer_send() accepts
a channel id over which to send the packet to a given peer. Once the
packet is handed over to ENet with enet_peer_send(), ENet will handle
its deallocation and enet_packet_destroy() should not be used upon
it."

Though in my opinion this should also be noted in the API docs of
enet_peer_send, not just in the tutorial. In makes sense though, since
otherwise ENet would have to make a copy of the packet since it isn't
sent synchronously.

Hmm, I don't know the answer to this one. I think at least you'll have
to wait on the disconnect to be sent away, preferably even waiting
until you know the other side got it.
