I think that a good counter-example is much of the DC-based Traffic
Extensions to BGP.   (I'm not expert in that area, so I won't pick an RFC)
I think that they mostly extend BGP with new attributes, but I suspect that
there are some places where it must Amend BGP to change a core assumption.
But, IDR use of BGP should NOT be changed.
