The IETF WG did, at some point. The opinion overall I think is that this would probably bring in even more troubles both to the protocol (e.g. in plenty of networks which do not allow any IP proto except 1, 6 and 17) and to networks (we have things like RFC 8086 for a reason). There might've been other reasons. -- Töma
