Since you made this comment on an approved document (which the IESG no longer gets to “send back”), I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to say, but I don’t agree with any of the possible interpretations.

I don’t think we need to form a queue behind the completion of DTLS 1.3.
This apparently will take some more time:

2021-10-18:  Received email from Eric Rescorla that an open technical issue is ongoing.

However, we should already have been working on a -bis for the DTLS profile that also supports DTLS 1.3; I can certainly agree with that.
