Re: [mpls] Poll for Adoption draft-andersson-mpls-moving-iana-registries-00

Carlos,

While I tend to agree that someone (hint) should write-up a document
fixing the G-ACh registries, that is not the purpose of the current
documents. It is looking to clean up the LSP Ping registries.

We have tried the approach "fixing everything" and failed to get our
heads around it, decided to take a stepwise approach. If we now stumble
on the first step (or rather second, since cleaning up the LSP registy
structure was the first) I'm afraid that nothing will be done.

Since you say (below) "solves a small part" I hope we can do this and
go ahead and do the rest as soon as we have the cycles.
