Yes that's absolute shit thing to do.

It's also on completely different OSI layer.

I don't see the difference between your comment and a statement like "I don't like email so let's stop using TCP".

    But the day your bank and insurance implement WEI, it'll going to be too late to switch to another protocol. Your existence will depend on it.
