Re: [pim] call for adoption: draft-zhou-pim-vrrp-01

Hi,

Thank you all for the comments and thoughts. I believe that the old draft
is about upstream link failures, which is not what the new draft is about.
The new draft is about how to support PIM and VRRP in general instead of
focusing on the object being tracked.

If the WG think the upstream link failure scenario should be discussed in
detail in the new draft, then I'm completely fine with merging. Moreover,
if the new draft is adopted in its current shape, then the WG can always
decide to include the upstream link failure scenario later.

Thanks,
Wei
