Thank you for the clarification.

As you know, there are several TLVs that have been MP-TLV for a very long time 
(e.g. ROUTER CAPABILITY).  Having these be MP is a practical operational 
necessity already today.  Disabling this on any node would likely break any 
network that has some fairly common features (e.g. FlexAlgo) enabled.

What is the point of a knob that cannot be turned off?
