I sometimes idly wonder if one of the last favors Google and the other IT behemoths could do the open web before being broken up is just announcing a plan to just use SCTP for Important Thing, and fuck people who are sitting behind broken middleware and if they don't like it complain to the idiots who block SCTP upstream (mutatis mutandis for a zillion other things that are only there to work around broken middleware). Of course there is zero chance of this happening (for one thing, it would probably greatly increase the chances of getting broken up earlier rather than later), but it's kind of nice to imagine someone of sufficient size throwing their weight around to stop socializing costs and shake up the useable protocol stack a bit again, and retire a lot of horrible hacks and complexity in one fell swoop.
