I thought the title was a joke. Haven't read it yet, but what on earth do we need v8 for?
We don't.

If you're not familiar with IETF drafts, this should give you an idea of the amount of vetting and community support is necessary to get something published as one: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html

The ontent is worse. It mixes up routing and target addresses. Perfect for censorship
