Most of the reasons people will use when deciding to continue using these technologies are financially or resource driven (i.e., there are costs to changing) or to ensure a MITM ability to monitor. Getting consensus in IETF that such reasons are "valid" is, in my experience, futile. I really couldn't see IETF getting consensus on any case where the recommendation would be "SHOULD NOT". The only real effect of insisting on such a change to this draft would be to delay its publication indefinitely.

I believe it's already past time for these technologies to be deprecated by IETF. The proposed indefinite delay in publication in order to accommodate futile argument is unnecessary and, IMO, harmful.
