I concur with Jim that rewriting strategies are in scope for the WG
according to its charter, especially if we have something to recommend
going forward.  RFC 7950 is informational and while it does discuss the
issues in significant detail, it also falls short of making a specific
recommendation.

What's probably debatable here is whether the WG wants to include such a
recommendation as part of the Proposed Standard it's aiming to put
forward.  And keep in mind that the IETF still gets its Last Call to review
the proposed document before the IESG gets it; the absence (or, indeed, the
presence) of such advice might be significant then.
