Yes. It is up to the vendor to assess whether it is sound
engineering or a financially-viable decision.
I did, one or too months ago. Also cc'ed the architecture-dicuss list.
One of the persons discussing on the thread is an IAB member.
Would change the consensus from what to what?
Appendix B of RFC8200 clearly says:
o Clarified that extension headers (except for the Hop-by-Hop
Options header) are not processed, inserted, or deleted by any
node along a packet's delivery path.
Is the errata I filed anything different from such intent?
The consensus is on the text in the first part (Section 4) at
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5933 The recommendation is to
replace the original two paragraphs with four paragraphs. If the
above is what appendix B states, the clarification (re. erratum) is not needed.
For what it is worth, there was an email which is allegedly from an
Area Director. One of the points in that email is about "a misuse of
the Errata process".
