Segment Routing (CRH, SRH and friends) isn't something 6man has traditionally dealt with.
We have been more concerned about IPv6 in the open Internet, end to end, and not so much of technologies only applicable within a controlled domain.

From that perspective, it is not surprising that this work attracts a different participant-set than before.

It seems that a proxy war is being fought out in the working group.
With both opponents and proponents of proposals closely aligned along company borders.

Best regards,
Ole, with the dystopian hat on.
