I read what you wrote. It's certainly an opinion. 

I think concern about complexity is important. I have not seen any data to 
suggest that that concern has stifled innovation. I have also not seen any data 
to suggest that complexity has stifled innovation, but I think it's equally 
possible. That's also an opinion.

I think the opposite. I think it continues to be a helpful reminder for all 
future protocol development. If the curious name causes even one person to dig 
into the reference, I think that would be excellent, regardless of what opinion 
they happen to hold. 

My, this is an excellent shade of bikeshed, I expected nothing less.
