I'm not sure if this is worthwhile, but it might be. The
probability that it ends up with something that's not
worth publishing as an RFC seems fairly high to me.

So long as adoption doesn't mean a commitment to eventual
publication of an RFC on this topic, then I don't object.
If the chairs consider adoption is such a commitment then
I would be against that.

Cheers,
S.
