I don't think anything prevents quick publication, whether on the
Experimental or Informational tracks.

I don't see how NegoEx not being an RFC has anything to do with which of
Experimental or Informational this I-D goes onto.

Apps can set preference.  Otherwise local configuration can set
preference.  NegoEx or no NegoEx makes no difference to this.  The only
reason to discuss NegoEx at all is that Windows apparently insists on it
for new mechanisms, but as we have NegoEx widely implemented now, it
almost doesn't matter.
