As I have reiterated numerous times, nobody is arguing that.

My argument is: you can't simply violate specs at will. If you have a
strong case for updating any spec (IPv6, or any other), please
explicitly propose it at the WG chartered to do that. Then you can
proceed with the rest of the work.


I'm quite pragmatic, and have spent a lot of energy doing updates to the
IPv6 case when I felt I had a strong case to do so.

But most of what I've seen in terms of EH-insertion is essentially
trying to impose a vendor's agenda on everyone else, igonring standards
and IETF consensus at will.

*This* is what this discussion is about.
