It's meaningful.  Documenting the existing schedulers (minRTT,
redundant, round robin) as informational documents will help the mptcp
practitioners to get better use of it.

In addition, path manager needs a better specification.  These can be
considered as the input to the co-chairs' ''call for future items of
the working group.  We may discuss it over at the upcoming meeting.

Cheers,
Zhen
