One of the hard requirements for our deployment was that the same certificate be useable with DCs and without. A different EKU would be more problematic then an extension for this purpose, and while it might be more or less irritating for implementors depending on how their stack works (sorry Rich - https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/33666/1 might serve as inspiration, but the client side got dropped for similar issues). We know the extension doesn't bust things, I don't know an EKU would, and the root program issues make me hesitate. Anyway it sounds like no one really has a problem with an extension, just a question.
