Right, and we're just starting to see places where they interfere with TCP. I've been doing tests on a new TCP option to extend the space available for options. We've already seen cases where these extensions aggregate segments that have different unknown options (which should clearly never happen), or even when they aggregate segments with unknown options that match (which I believe should never happen either). Again, just because nobody's screamed to date doesn't mean these are known safe.
