That's also been my reaction to the objections to CRH. Who cares if other ways of doing roughly the same thing exist? Plus, RFC 8663 is worded to read that it's for MPLS segment routing, which will instantly turn off a lot of potential users. In the Internet way of doing things, an innovation that finds a couple of adopters becomes fact. No need to overcome any other hurdles. Over time, some RFCs are labeled "historic," if they have no current relevance. Pretty simple.
