Re: [Pppext] warning suggestions for draft-bberry-pppoe-credit

Yes, it did do an end run around PPPEXT, but since then I've seen  
more hints that the IESG might be willing to listen to the WG as  
expert on the topic and act accordingly.  I say we ask them to nix  
the whole thing, and come back to us for text mods if they disagree.

Why can't the company just fix their design?
