Re: [mpls] poll to see if we have support to make draft-xu-mpls-in-udp an mpls working group document

I don't support this draft since it has no application in today's modern metro and core, where MPLS is dominant, and its only practical application in in data center, which already is crowded with other solutions such as NVGRE and VXLAN. 

It seems the authors are trying to bypass the NVO3 solution selection process by advancing the draft in MPLS WG.
