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.
