Sure.  We started that discussion a few IETFs ago and have a bis draft out at
draft-bormann-lwig-7228bis.

(I’m not sure that I will be in Chicago, but I could join from remote.)

One thing that needs to be added before even discussing these device classes is the difference between micro controllers (which you have been calling M-class) and general purpose computing platforms (A-class).  Proposed text for that should be in the next version of 7228bis.

Grüße, Carsten
