Re: [manet] Barry Leiba's No Objection on draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-multitopology-05: (with COMMENT)

[Thomas Heide Clausen <[e-mail]>]

Confirm that we just want to "do the right thing" and are taking advice from the IESG on what that is. And will implement it. 

I am officially on vacation this week - but, as you can see, can't keep away from mails. I am fully back in the salt mines come Monday.

I also don't think it updates 7181, because it's specifying an optional (indeed, experimental) extension.  Here: does someone reading 7181, with no interest in implementing this experimental extension, need to read (or even know
