Well this is not completely true. The code changes that were done, 
related to IPsec,
in implement this feature largely existed and was reused/re-factored in 
an effective
manner instead of replicating the same functionality (implementing logic of
add/update/delete keys) at the TCP layer again.

Again I would like to reiterate there is this convenience of using the 
feature right away
without doing any changes to user application and not needing any 
patches, in the
mentioned proposal and this convenience is not there in any other proposals.
