I came prepared [1] (but did not want to include this table initially to 
not overwhelm everyone with the info dump ;-))! Our preliminary 
judgement call was that there are for the most part 2 types of CoAP 
implementations that are in that state: (1) who have a stale development 
status anyways (last change >1 year ago) or (2) where it is not needed 
fort the use-case anyways (e.g. wakaama). Of the one remaining, I agree 
with your proposal to generate fixes for FETCH support down the line.

Best Regards,
Martine
