Yes, I already recommend based on the feedback from the OPS-DIR review to add 
a section about the nature/goals of the experiment.

AQM will have a recharter discussion at the next meeting which might lead to 
rechartering or closure. If the wg will continue, moving this doc forward 
might be one of their work items. Otherwise there are currently no plans. 
Even though there are implementations of PIE in the wild, the working did not 
have consensus to publish this doc as ST now, as these implementation are 
currently mostly used in home devices and not the Internet itself.
