Uhmmm, like that's unique to vendors (for a commercial definition of
"vendor")... Another example is ssh, which exists in a number of free
implementation that have stayed with protocol version 1.5 (which never
became an RFC) and are not moving (and in some cases: will not move)
to protocol version 2 (which is, IIRC, an RFC, or at least has a
greater chance of getting there).
Let's face it, the world is littered with people who see a "cool
draft" and can't wait to start implementing, and then get stuck, or
don't really have the time to finish or go all the way...
