Not sure I understand. Yes, the address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2. I don't recall the draft version when this changed, but it is very unlikely that it will change again. See section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0). Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used. I thought I better remove it before someone does start using it.
