Re: [dhcwg] Advancing RFC 3315 and RFC 3633 to Internet Standard - NO SUPPORT FOR THIS??????

["Weil, Jason" <[e-mail]>]

I am also not seeing the benefit of pushing two RFCs that are in the
process of being merged to something better than the sum of their parts
before that merge is successful. And like Ole mentioned wouldn't it fail
on the errata point (2) from Tomek's original email anyway?
