I'm fine with this so long as the author gets to choose the priority.
For instance, I have three drafts. Two of them are small (auth-ind,
service-discovery) and one of them is large (spake-preauth). This order
is also my priority. However, I'd hate to have spake-preauth be pulled
in first and have it block the smaller drafts for years.
