Acee,

I guess that depends on what things we're talking about.

For "how do you get a TCP speaker to come up for an application with
partially known parameters", longer term it might be nice if the tcpm
Working Group took this up.

They've partially addressed this using TCP-ENO (RFC 8547).  At some point
BGP would benefit from having an informational document describe
interactions with it.  The GTSM option doesn't fit well there.

BFD state for BGP is an artifact of interoperability headaches for the BGP
FSM and the BFD FSM as you well know. :-)
