Heck, *I'd* love to have it as an *option* myself, assuming very-low
deployment costs.

But I stand my statement that it won't be worth it, pending further
clarifying input from its proponents, because I'm measuring the total
cost of deployment, including the efforts (and patches and bodges)
needed to get it to gain sufficiently widespread acceptance, compared
to what I think could be accomplished within the SMTP, or at least the
"push", paradigm, and/or to what might be accomplished with a
more-flexible paradigm allowing per-message negotiation of push, pull,
and so on.
