He wants to use it to advertise services that are not part of the P2P protocol itself, but run on a different port. Reserving services bits for those is not acceptable. All the NODE_EXT_SERVICES bit does is advertise the P2P "getextsrv" command to get information, such as the port to connect on, for the auxilary service.
