Who knows.

But just because they've been doing it for a long time doesn't mean it's 
a good thing to do.

And the IETF commonly tells people with bad ideas they should do 
something else.

And maybe then instead they would have gone away and come up with a 
solution that doesn't have this leakage problem.
