Decision to expand on original remarks in response to call for adoption 
was result of your inquiry:

"Third, if assume an operation completely messed up, and leaking this 
extended-ID towards the home-server, I still need to see a good example on 
what the harm is that, and why this can not be debugged. The draft I agree 
needs to add some text on various cases and how to debug those in each of 
them."

Otherwise I am happy with the relative strength of my remarks in their 
original context.

If when manually switched on in an environment where it should not be the 
result is not working at all that would be perfectly fine.  Unfortunatly 
as I have shown this is not the case with extended-id.

In this aspect of consideration ORA clearly has an advantage both in 
ability to detect and report failure and nature of failure itself.

Yes absolutely.  This will defiantly occur.  Status-server is not 
universally supported.
