It would appear a presentation would have been helpful.  While we have
gotten an additional few people noting support on the mailing list, the
lack of familiarity with the draft seems to be at issue.

I'd like to encourage all of IDR to take a quick look at
draft-dhrao-idr-4octet-extcomm-generic-subtype and indicate support or
lack of support for this document.  We currently do not have a 4-byte AS
equivalent standard community and this is going to be an increasingly
large issue for operators as we deploy 4 byte ASes.

Per the IDR session, we do not have enough visible support to adopt this
draft.  I find that honestly shocking.

Don't make me go rattling on mailing lists like NANOG for support. :-)
