Hence, the "MUST abort" requirement seems like an unmotivated restriction.
I'm not saying that we have to change the current draft, I'm just curious to
understand the real benefits of this requirement.

In a sense it allows a consistent definition of the semantics of SCSV:
The presence of SCSV is equivalent to an empty RI extension. Under such
a definition, the presence of multiple conflicting RIs (especially an
empty RI during a renegotiation) is clearly an abort-able offense!

Baloney.

This ludicrous explanation is a silly excuse for a proven technical mistake.
