Do you want me to?
A couple of them seem to have found some use within limited domains. Those problems could likely have been solved also with encapsulation and as it turns out the limited domains end up with additional encapsulation too. Encapsulation is in my a view a better way to reason about these extensions than EHs.

If nothing else they have served as a way to extend the ip protocol name space.
