The IETF is five years late with action on this front.  At least.  Whatever is 
happening in this working group, hurrying isn't on the list.

I have no idea what should be in this draft or if it should even exist 
anymore.

I also really don't understand why we have a discussion about if a draft 
should be adopted before a WG adopts it if we just get to re-have the same 
discussion periodically.
