  I'm confused: Do you suggest TCP-MD5 as optional or mandatory?

  Defining TCP-MD5 as mandatory seems a bit risky as it is obsoleted by 
AO. I'm not sure how the IESG would react on this. On the other hand, if 
there are no real implementations for RFC5925 it seems useless for RTR, 
as well. Thus, I would stick to SSH (or something else that is 
well-deployed and not obsoleted).


Cheers
