I think I can agree.

I'm interested in all discovery mechanisms existing out there, and then
making some new...  But at some point one can easily wonder whether
there aren't too many of them those discovery mechanisms, and maybe some
more reuse can be possible.

So can I turn your (Hannes) question: how much does your new discovery
protocol reuse?  Of what?  Please don't argument that that and that
group believes the requirements eliminate all existing discovery
mechanisms, because I'm speechless in front of these requirements
because I haven't followed them, sorry :-)

Then of course another question to you (Hannes) is whether we have any
IPR issues around this new method of discovery, any entanglement.  If
there's IPR, on which side would one prefer to err, and so.

But without at least these little things one can say little, and even
less call it 'consensus', In My Humble Oppinion.
