The whole "IP 2.0" presumption that appears to be being made here is that suddenly some external traffic source will be able to select a route through someone else's network -- but this just isn't the commercial reality. Some more performant paths are going to have costs associated with them (even if it's just to build more capacity), so there is going to be a cost of choosing that route through the network. That cost is going to need to be covered somewhere - so you are very unlikely to actually be able to get to choosing a path without some commercial contract. Guess what? We've already had those -- they just tend to use the DSCP bits to indicate what the traffic class, and hence associated requested SLO is - not an explicitly chosen path.
Equally, let's think about how this would even work - if you are going to choose a path through the network to get better QoS, you're going to need to know something about what IDs to use, which implies knowledge of the topology. Inter-domain topology exposure is going to /significantly/ increase the complexity and fragility of inter-domain routing -- there are reasons that we don't run a global link-state protocol :-)
In conclusion - I think this is hype with little technical justification, and is unlikely to have any different impact than other intra-domain traffic engineering that the industry has been running for many years.
Quite honestly -- this kind of marketing hype and hyperbole is what is wrong with the whole area of SR today (and I say this as someone that was _very_ involved). We've completely lost the ability to say what it is we're solving, and why we're doing it. We're driving disparate architectures into silicon where there's opportunity cost for the functionality. We're having political disagreements within the IETF based on folks trying to keep political control of technologies, not worrying about the efficacy for the industry. It's all pretty broken. YMMV.
Wikipedia would be a far better link, as it has links to RFCs, Cisco, Juniper Arista etc pages on it, and generally lets normal people who likely haven't heard of it read about it
