One thing I did not add in my previous reply:

If an offerer sets the direction of an m-line to sendrecv, and the
answerer sets the direction to sendonly, the offerer will have no
indication of whether the answerer intended the suspension of traffic to
be temporary (msid-control: disable) or permanent (msid-control: reject
or msid-control: stop).

That was actually the main concern that drove the desire for a new
mechanism.
Once the new mechanism was in place, it seemed logical to be explicit
about the other possible actions too, rather than relying on the
sendrecv/sendonly/recvonly parameter.
