There was less than 5 minutes for this presentation. I couldn't even go
to the mike and saying something. But I had already given feedback on
this to the authors, to the chairs and to you offline before and during
the IETF meeting. 

Before the BoF, there hasn't been any discussion on this on the mailing
list. 

I was actually surprised to see this on the charter.

FWIW, there a lot of vendors who already do this kind of load balancing
across blades in a chassis without modifying the protocol exchanges.
What more proof do you need?
