I do not remember there being anything that would be easily affected.
Also as currently extensions are done in the way where the initiator
tells that it supports some extension, and then responder confirms
that, this will mean that when minimal client will NOT claim to
support some extension then responder will not use that feature (and
do not even include any of the payloads negotiating it).

Also extensions are usually negotiated using notify payloads using
status notify types (which can be safely be ignored by recipient end
if they are not understood), minimal implementations will simply
ignore the other ends notifications which try to negotiate the
extensions, which will then cause extensions to be disabled.

I think I agree on the statement that if we make so big changes to the
IKEv2 that it would really affect minimal implementations, that would
be IKEv3...

And if we do end up having this issue, we can just make bis version of
this document, and update it. This might happen anyways depending how
the new EC curves and signatures will be taken in to use and what kind
of features we are going to be using. After few years we might see
that minimal implementations in actual use are using more features
than what our current minimal implementations are using, and we might
want to update this document to specify features those implementations
are using.
