The way I am reading the replies so far imply that few if anyone really
needs this extension.  If that is the case, I don't see why we need to
spend time on it.

Well, somebody went to the trouble of writing it...

I can see the value of this for a protocol such as IKE, because there you need to send the whole cert (sometimes a chain, sometimes also a CRL) within one UDP packet. With TLS, I guess there is much less value there.
