No, I don't agree with that classification of the issue. What was 
discussed was that RFC 5285 does not allow to use both one and two byte 
headers in the same RTP stream.

To my understanding the suggestion for fixing this issue was to allow an 
RTP sender to switch between RTP packets between using one or two bytes 
headers depending on need.

I think that has much less impact on deployed scenarios than the more 
extensive change below.

Further I think Mo was suggesting that the signalling was tweaked such 
that any header extension that requires two byte headers only should 
request ID values of 16 and larger to indicate that need. That still 
leaves some uncertainty for header extensions that have changing context 
and may go back and forth between needing one or two byte headers.
