Fernando, RFC7872 seems to document the state of the Internet at a given point
of time. I do not know if things have gotten better or worse for extension headers
in the Internet since that time, but I believe that support for extension headers in
the Internet must become more robust. Fragmentation is one reason. Another is
the proposed MTU extension header, and there are still others. Let's not ossify
the IPv6 Internet yet the way the IPv4 Internet is ossified.

Fred
