This is my preference. It's the only way to be sure the problem is definitely fixed.
2) Revising the draft to restrict the usage of RH0. This would continue to require RH0 to be implemented but would restrict the functionality of RH0. For example, require nodes to have support for RH0 turned off by default, limit the number of RH0 headers in a packet to one, limit the number of addresses in the RH0 to a smaller number (e.g., 6), and and a requirement that addresses can only be in the header once.
I would prefer this to be done using a new RH number. Redefining an existing header in this way will cause operational confusion.
