This is somewhat related to FTP: there is currently a document in IESG 
review talking about deprecation (or strong discouragement) of use of 
TCP urgent data:

 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-urgent-data/>

I would like to ask people to review this and tell me how this affect FTP.

Thanks,
Alexey
