If we apply this to other standards (SMTP, DNS, HTTP, etc) we would just have to power down the whole internet. The best that we can do is come up with something that makes a modicum of sense, fix things we didn't anticipate or understand because we needed operational experience and move on. There will always be some fraction of the user/implementer base that won't understand protocols, standards or RFCs. It kind of goes with the territory.
