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

["Dearlove, Christopher (UK)" <[e-mail]>]

It's a philosophy question, what does updates mean? Is there a formal RFC Editor definition? This does, at the least, update IANA registries established by 7181 and I think 7188 and XXXX (draft-ietf-manet-tlv-naming that we expect to be an RFC before or with this).

But honestly, I and co-author don't care one way or the other, if the IESG picks an answer, we'll implement it. I will probably have to let my co-author handle the mechanics of this, I may be unavailable shortly for at least a week.

Let's please have a brief, non-blocking discussion of the "updates"
status here.  As I read this, I don't see how this updates either 7181 or 7188.  It clearly doesn't update 7188: it's just using an extension mechanism that was specified in 7188.  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
about) this document?  I think the answer is no.

(There's also the spurious "XXXX" in the updates list, which should be
removed.)
