   This would be true if it were possible to add a new extension header type
   without modifying the kernel.  It isn't really possible in the
   implementations I have seen

=> I disagree: I use a table for header management with some free slots
so it is possible to add an option or an extension header without modifying
the current kernel, you just need to add some code (eventually) via
a dynamic kernel module.
So I can't agree with your conclusions...
