+1.

I was excited about SR because I thought it would finally enable native
MPLSv6 forwarding. But alas...

I've heard of "quiet" tests going on within some operator networks, but
if you look around, SR is being pushed by the vendors, and none of them
can give me a concrete example of a deployment in the wild worth talking
about.

Of course, always open to correction...
