Tap tap tap. Is this thing turned on?

I think 3-4 people made some well-considered feedback on this draft,
but there has been zero discussion or author feedback for some six
weeks now.

Does that mean there is insufficient interest in progressing this draft?

I ask because in my dayjob we've been recently approached by some
large eyeball providers who are now willing to invest in upgrading
their resolver infrastructure to support client-subnet now that they
see the benefits.

It'd be a pity if this died on the vine just as others are starting to
come around to the idea.
