It makes sense to work to get to an IETF standard protocol that
captures the same benefits. But that is independent from enabling what
is already implemented.  

How many different packet encryption methods should the linux kernel
have? There are good reasons to go through standard bodies. Doing your
own thing and then saying "but we did it already" to me does not feel
like a strong argument. That's how we got wireguard with all of its
issues of being written for a single use case, and now being unfit for
generic use cases.

Now you made me curious. What's wrong with wireguard?
I have only heard good things.
