This is the reality: RFC7872. We should consider claiming vitory if somehow people were to follow the advice in this draft. This is what happens in the operations camp: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-ehs-packet-drops-03- Ironically, the possible harm you apparently see behind this document is, from an operations-reality pov, kind of a very idealistic take. -- the situation right now is that you cannot use EHs reliably on the Internet. If if you even expect non-standardized EHs to go through, then, while nice, that expectation really needs a reality-check.
