So you use header compression on all your links, right? No sense reducing your 1Gbps main uplink to 0.98Gbps. The 
checksum (removed in v6)  is already 5% of each IP packet header. Speaking of headers I take it you're using SLIP 
instead of Ethernet? And you avoid TLS like the plague? I hope you replaced your 15W LED bulbs with 14.7W bulbs as well 
- your finance department will thank you. This is asinine.

The issue that 128bits (64+64) are wasted in every packet. Formally,
for "privacy". Content providers are lathing from such form or
privacy. But it is 2% of the internet capacity.

No one cares nowadays. The amount of other crap traffic (scrapers, AI, spam, DDoS attacks) is a real problem, the 
additional bits in the header aren't.
The time of slow dialup connections where every bit matters, is over.
