my 2c as an individual:

The Applicability, Manageability and Load Balancer documents are all
already adopted by the QUIC WG, under current or previous charters. They
address the work area of deployability. Arguably, they help *use* the QUIC
protocol rather than extend or modify it. A loss bits specification
possibly requires extension of the QUIC protocol, with the intent to
improve manageability. Such work is likely to span the extension and
deployability work areas.

Waiting for the new documents to get proposed and adopted, as a new
precedent for future work in this area doesn't IMO help much. We already
have precedents, which I trust the WG to be capable of applying without
being too literal.

Cheers,
Lucas
