I understand what you're seeing in the marketplace. 

My point was that the ITU work has progressed beyond the low hanging fruit
of p2p, and (for example) Y.17fec-cv is directed at LDP/ECMP etc. and for at
least PW and VPN applications, could also work with PHP. It is when an LSR
offers a lot of FEC/label bindings at the LDP/IP layer that fec-cv would
lose precision in the PHP scenario. 

I've discussed this at conferences we've all been at, posted drafts,
presented this stuff (in SF) yet folks persist in characterizing the ITU
work as focused on an insignificant corner case. I don't think it is that
insignificant, but it is not the only thing going on....
