I've sent an email to their list a while back. There was some feedback, 
but nothing really substantial:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/oauth/SqVD1YBqq-XCUREEVu9YXjKmrto/

So, I'm not sure if there's more to be done there(?).

For what it's worth, in the years since I've published the first draft, 
I've had more than a few people tell me they use (some of) these link 
relationships in their system, usually after it was found with a google 
search.

I think oauth2 adoption would be great. One of it's failings I think is 
the fact that user agents can't discover anymore how to authenticate a 
user after getting a 401, so this is a nice step in the direction of 
potentially solving that.
