And criterium #1 is stability. I've yet to meet serious infrastructure providers willing to base their network on unstable protocols, where unstable means "I'll have to upgrade software/protocols/algorithms in the foreseeable future".
Noone *has* to upgrade anything. If people don't want to upgrade, that's up to them. And I thought your argument (now) was that it was not the protocol that was unstable, but various implementations thereof through the complexity of the protocol - in which case they will chose the stable implementations instead.
