Oh, yes. 

But one guess as to what is causing Pete's difficulties in
getting responses to his triage question is that I18N issues
generally, and perhaps IDNA-related ones in particular, have
gotten into that state and that List for everyone here
(including Pete's and Peter's and, probably given the progress
on draft-faltstrom-unicode12-00 since March 11th, Alexey's).
While we've been saying things in terms of "insufficient
expertise" for i18n issues, it may be equally true that is just
has not been high enough priority for anyone with expertise or
otherwise in the critical path.  

If that is the case, then the question --and, again, the
question since Patrik and I requested the BoF over a year ago --
is whether we have a plan about changing that (maybe easier than
finding more expertise and maybe not) or whether should be
making another plan entirely, presumably one that gets the IETF
out of the critical path.
