Maybe one: I would expect the ANIMA WG to now agree that the definition in RFC 8366 of 
"application/voucher-cms+json" is a "bad suffix usage".
(Reason: the data of the media type is a CMS structure. Not JSON.)

This does show that even getting a single suffix right can be difficult for authors and reviewers. But I do hope we can keep at least the single suffix. 
This is IMO useful and less complex than getting generic multiple suffixes and their associated processing models right.
