uh, non sequitur.  the subject was ripe docs working.  2182 was never a
ripe doc, and the ietf pub cycle was just fine for it.

but maybe folk could get the point here if (the metaphorical) you could
point to an example op doc which is needed asap, is in good shape, and
ietf rfc processing would cause ops issues.  a real example, might help.
