Well, it would have been nice to see this recorded in a mail to the 
mailing list.

We all know well that it's extremely hard to make predictions like 
these, right?

So again: if you simply replace the dependency then you need to add 
prose explaining why you are using syntax that is not allowed per RFC 
2617. I would think it's easier to leave things as they were (and as 
last-called both in the WG LC and the IETF LC), and let the spec sit in 
the RFC Editor queue a bit longer (it would still be approved as 
Proposed Standard, just not published).
