That's only correct when said implementers have a choice.  With no
allocated points going to be available in the future, a hijack would be the
only viable option.

Also, we have stepped on that rake before.  You don't need a lot of
implementers going nuts to destroy interoperability.  You only need *one*
who would be successful in that s/he is doing.

Let's face it, there's not gonna be hundreds of DNSSEC GOST implementations
anyway, I think maybe 3 or 4 would finally be born, and one of those would
likely win the competition and become a standard de-facto.  See, without
the code point allocation it's a pure gamble on whether we'll get interop
issues in the future or not.
