From what I can see with a cursory search, the IETF seem happy to declare extensions to the standard <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sedate-datetime-extended/02/> rather than seeking to replace it. Time in a general sense is not their focus; timestamps for Internet protocols (which do not need to express the same vagaries as EDTF) and methods of setting time over a network are. Regardless, the focus of this issue is to implement a //specific// format, which is both of interest to some institutions, and also offers features not available in the existing datatype. There is a reasonable concern that not everyone will be able to contribute fully to development - I had my own problems when filing issues - but it probably does not pose the same issues as, say, integrating a proprietary database engine. As a practical matter, I suspect those who care the most about correctness with respect to the more obscure parts of the standard are the most likely to have a copy of it, or resources to fund access to it.
