Actually - I've a feeling that at the time the problems with IPv4
source routing were discussed, they would have been considered more
severe. They allowed remote user (or maybe even root) level access
to many systems. At the time DoSes weren't considered so serious.
Today, a DoS, even with a magnification factor of 80 or so, is
probably less severe in my mind. YMMV...
