[Gen-art] Preliminary Qs for Genart review of draft-ietf-detnet-use-cases

["Pete Resnick" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Lou,

I've got a preliminary question about draft-ietf-detnet-use-cases that 
isn't answered in the intro to the document or in your shepherd writeup. 
I've Cced the WG just to make sure they're in the loop, and I've Cced 
the gen-art list and the responsible AD just in case Deborah or any of 
my Genart colleagues wish to say, "Pete, stop worrying your pretty 
little head and go finish your Genart review!" And I swear, I'm not 
asking this just to delay having to read 79 pages. (OK, maybe a little.)

What's the motivation behind publishing this document? From the intro, 
it looks like it's purpose was to document the use cases so that the WG 
could do its work. Is there a reason that it needs to be published for 
posterity? Will people in the future need to reference this document? It 
would help me to review the document if I understood why it is being 
published instead of simply being a tool that the WG used and now no 
longer needs.

I promise, in the meanwhile I'll continue to read the document and get 
the rest of my review finished, but I'd like to understand more about 
the purpose of the document.

Thanks,

pr
