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

[Job Snijders <[e-mail]>]

Dear working group,

To prevent having multiple drafts in quick succession covering the same
style of issue - I'd like your feedback on the following:

I believe that bgp path attribute 241, 242, 243 should also be added to
this draft for the same reasons as 30, 31 and 129 are listed.

OLD:
    This document requests IANA to deprecate the following BGP Path
    attributes: 30, 31, and 129.

NEW:
    This document requests IANA to deprecate the following BGP Path
    attributes: 30, 31, 129, 241, 242, and 243.

Does anyone object? If so, why?

Unilaterally changing the document while in its mid-flight through the
working group adoption process might be considered bad form, hence my
request for feedback on the 241,242,243 topic.

Please note - the deprecation of an attribute can be undone if proper
process is followed. The priority here is to prevent IANA from assigning
tainted codepoints to innocent bystanders, thus a deprecation document
needs to exist. In time the working group has the power to undeprecate
them for specific purposes.

Kind regards,

Job

As an aside, I will note that I don't think the WG has the option of doing nothing, so if you oppose adoption please address what you think should be done instead.
