Hi Joel,
RFC8200 permits extension header processing, insertion, deletion at a node
identified in the Destination Address field of the IPv6 header. This has been
discussed in other threads like
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/Ypnpw-oneCb7W6s41dVZGMok0Nw .
Thanks,
Pablo

Removing a header from an IPv6 packet (without removing the whole IPv6
header) is a violation of RFC 8200.
As such, it should be removed from the base network programming draft.
If you really want it, put it in the new insertion draft. And justify it.
With regard to the example of off-load, the usual practice has been to
avoid standardizing off-load behaviors in the IETF. the NIC vendors
come up with all sorts of ways to improve performance that violate the
specifications. We do not endorse that, and leave the need for
consenting devices engaging in proprietary communication to them.
Yours,
Joel
