The work originates from updates to the IPv6 base spec, and the need to 
consider how to do PLPMTUD for transports other than TCP.  There's 
practical code for UDP-Options, and SCTP, and that is presently evolving 
with the Spec.

I suspect someone could use the final method with QUIC - since it's also 
a UDP-based transport. I don' knopw of anyone planning PMTUD for QUIC - 
please get in touch if that is on your radar.
