I always found the removal a very unhelpful idea. A different draft 
comes to mind where the implementation section mentioned the ways in 
which almost every implementation, consistently, deviated from the 
draft, which would be very useful information to future implementors!

I indeed also noticed that this draft lacked that note, but Paul Wouters 
replied this via Twitter:

letoams: @oerdnj @Habbie ohh. well that whole section will be cut anyway 
before RFC :) If we do another rev based on IETF LC, I will update it

If it turns out the section is going to be removed before publication, 
then of course, don’t bother with the change. If the section will 
survive, and it is felt that this small change will hold up publication, 
then please also do not bother.

Otherwise, if it turns out we can easily get this change in, please do.
