In my experience, there are a number of things that are universally agreed to be "the wrong tool for every job". The classical subject for that observation is vise grips -- and every toolbox contains a pair. In software, it's the language Perl -- and every system has a bunch of Perl scripts that do vital tasks. And in media protocols, it's SDP -- and any interoperable system can send and receive SDP. It seems that everyone who has dealt with SDP in the last ten years rants that SDP is horrible, and works on systems that use SDP. The problem with all of these tools is that they *work*, they can be used to do whatever is needed at the moment, in a way that is adequate for the users' needs, in environments where it is quite difficult to do that. It may be possible to transition a large section of real-time media away from SDP. But the way to argue for that is to present the outline of a technical replacement, and a roadmap for implementing it in the overall ecosystem -- including the strategy for interoperating with systems that use SDP.
