I think it a bigger shame that draft-ietf-grow-private-ip-sp-cores is
not in the RFC Editor queue awaiting publication!

It is a natural companion to RFC6598 and could have, should have, been
in the queue at the same time.  This I-D was relevant when it was first
written 2 years ago, and I see its relevance decreasing with time, as
people stumble over the mistakes that this I-D could have prevented.  It
has taken those 2 years to get this I-D IETF-ready, little has changed
in the content in that time, and it is time we got it out of the door.

Of course there is scope for improvement, there always is, but that is
an argument for never publishing anything.  If the authors of the other
I-Ds want to build on it, then of course they can produce a bis that
covers more, but let's publish what we have got.
