Re: [Idr] Working group adoption call for draft-snijders-idr-deprecate-30-31-129

Tom: 

<WG chair hat on> 
The IETF list discussion of RFC5226bis is the right place to make progress
on this work.   Alvaro Retana (the AD for IDR) has agreed to help push this
along as well.  Send Alvaro notes on your concerns.   With a reference to
RFC5226bis, then draft-snijders-idr-deprecate-30-31-129 will be able to
"deprecate" the code points at this point.  When the RFC5226bis comes out,
Michelle Cotton (and all the great folks at IANA) will adjust the tables. 

<WG Chair hat off> 
<individual contributor hat on> 
As the IDR list has indicated, deprecate needs to be carefully defined.  I
appreciate you working on this topic on the IETF list.  Otherwise, we'll
have this conversation again with 2-3 years.

Sue

The reason I am being a bit 'snarky' on this adoption call is my concern
that there may be differing views of what 'deprecate' means.  For example,
the SMI world gives it a different (and IMO unsuitable) meaning which some
on this list will know.  Even the 5226bis text might not be quite right.
Robert did query whether or not 'deprecate' was suitable.

If we take 5226bis as gospel, then 'deprecate' is probably the option to
choose but I wish that there were more alternatives.

I was about to post to the main IETF list and Terry Mandelson(as
responssible AD) about 5226bis (again:-) but the list has erupted with a
discussion about DMARC(again) so I will hold off and see what develops.
