The issue is SIDR can not aggregate multiple paths.
Should SIDR work on path aggregation?
If we ever want to make routing state scale sub-linearly (i.e. make IDR "compact") in the size of the internet, then we're almost certainly going to need some form of conglomeration of routing information in some shape or form. Still having support for aggregation in BGP could then be useful.
It'd be a shame if we ended up having to choose between scalable and secure routing.
(OTOH scalable routing is potentially so far off in the future, and might be so different, that it's hard to say what level of extra engineering or overhead, if any would be justified for SIDR).
