Now I am confused what this is about.

multipart/byteranges as delimiter is defenitely in wide use for 206
responses.

What is not supported in wide use is multipart/byteranges as delimiter
for any other purpose such as sending requests..

I don't see how we can disallow multipart/byteranges as delimiter. All
clients sending multi-range requests MUST support it in 206 responses to
such requests. A client not supporting multipart/byteranges as delimiter
MUST NOT sent a multi-ranged request without also using Connection:
close.
