COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree with the current status as PS. While it does not define new
codepoints or protocol extensions, it defines new mechanisms
which need to be supported by all (PBB-)EVPN nodes. The mechanisms
are not supported by operational configuration, they are new
mechanisms which need to be supported by the node itself.

A BCP/Informational status would be appropriate if this document
was only defining the procedures related to the VPLS or PBB-VPLS
PEs. For those nodes, there is no change, as all the new mechanisms
supporting seamless integration need to be supported on the EVPN nodes.
