  *   I do not have any fish to fry here, but I thought IETF Last-Call was to get wider community feedback.

I like that phrase. :)

>The WGLC was June 14, 2017 on rev08, more than 3 1/2 years ago, so perhaps some perceptions may have changed since then. The draft also changed [1].

And we had WG discussion on the changes. And a poll (https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/curdle/?q=%20straw%20poll) about some of the issues.

As for bad algorithms not being MUST NOT, the feeling was that we needed to have a transition period.

Just trying to provide some context. I appreciate your feedback, as always, you’re quite good. :)
