It wouldn't make the option space any bigger for the future, but it would get us out of the current situation, and would make a combination of some crypto and MPTCP be deployable. SACK and WScale are in use by the majority of sources, but (depending on where you're looking from), only about a third of senders ever use the timestamp options (lots of sources; the most recent is CCR April '14, Honda et al "Rekindling Network Protocol Innovation with User-Level Stacks", introduction), largely an effect of OS-level defaults. So an either-or approach for TS or TCP-AO would probably work. (Doing this would make in-path passive measurement of RTT on mostly-unidirectional flows basically impossible, but in a post-BCP188 world we should probably be working on instrumenting endpoints for debugging and monitoring, anyway...)
