From past experience my assumptions would be more along the lines of if it's not mainstream there's a higher likelihood that it might trigger exceptions in code.
My point is, let it break. Don't pre-emptively drop things that you don't know to be harmful, but where dropping definitely is harmful.
After risk has realised you have more data about the risk. If it has never realised you have no idea. If we extrapolate this culture of fear, we will only have HTTPS open, nothing else, and we have to build then next-gen stuff as an overlay using HTTPS transport.
Sure I get it it's a very valid and a noble point, But what you're asking is let it break (yes potentially -it's just probability until it happens) for 1000s of subs just so that one kiddo has a working niche feature, I can already see what board has to say about that -screw that kid we have money to make there's our brand at stake (yes again just potentially -it's just probability until it actually happens) -but you'll already know what they're gonna say. So yes on a technical level I agree with you, but on a commercial level it's a tough case to make. And the same logic applies to the other thread around BGP communities filtering... adam
