There were proposals for Stable Snap Shots (SSS) from Scott Bradner, and Working Group Snapshots (WGS) from me, Dave, and Charlie Perkins. If I'm remembering correctly, both were intended to say "this is stable NOW, but I wouldn't put it in firmware, because we're still getting experience with it, and it could change". Working Group Snapshots (WGS) in http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-dawkins-pstmt-twostage-01.txt Stable SnapShots (SSS), in http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-bradner-ietf-stds-trk-01.txt For extra credit, we could implement these with no 2026/2418 changes, if changing 2026/2418 is as impossible as it looks - neither BCP says we CAN'T do WGS/SSS. We probably don't want to restart these discussions without someone summarizing the state of play in previous discussions, because Groundhog's Day was a great movie, but a lousy standards process :D Thanks, Spencer
