*If* you believe that the solutions specified do not include what you
need or have limitations limiting their applicability, then you should
make statements about what need to be changed in these drafts, now, or
during their last call.

This is _unrelated_ to choosing, inside the solution draft, a set of
options mandatory to implement.

(Now, the solution drafts -- independently of the approach used for the
different building blocks --  do completely support PIM-Bidir,
Anycast-RP, and anycast sourcing)
