I believe there has been a pretty wide consensus that this is deprecated.  Tom 
is just turning the crank.  Having worked on code that supports it, I can only 
opine that it should have been sooner 😊.  Of course, nothing is ever really 
deprecated on the Internet -- We are still being paid by customers to support 
hardware that was built in the previous century that supports SYNC protocols 
that were defined before the Internet even existed.

I notice there is no mention of IPv4.  Was there ever an RFC that addresses 
using AH and ESP with IPv4 and does it need to be addressed here?
