Didn’t we have this same discussion 25 years ago on NAT boxes?

The fact of the matter is that the IETF is completely helpless to prevent such things. 
True, it can block standardization, but if the market wants it, the market will drive it
and all that the IETF does is to make itself irrelevant to the process.

If it were, the first complaint would be about SRv6 itself.

The IAB’s only role is that of genteel education and it’s a target rich environment.
