I have been asked to provide feedback on draft-dj-mpls-tp-exer-psc-01 as part of the mpls review team process.

Just like draft-osborne-mpls-psc-updates-01, this is an update to RFC 6378 specified as diffs to selected sections of the RFC.
That is not how the IETF generally updates RFCs and makes it quite cumbersome to read and understand a protocol specification.
If adopting this and the other draft as WG documents, it would result in one base RFC 6378 with then at least two other RFCs that modify individual paragraphs of the base RFC. This does not seem like a good way to write protocol specifications.

So I would much rather see a new version of RFC 6378 that incorporates the changes specified in this draft.
