Most of the outstanding design issues were discussed at the last IETF
meeting and had clear resolutions.  As such, I think we're close to being
ready to ship this draft.

One issue not discussed(#48
<https://github.com/quicwg/ack-frequency/issues/48>) regarding ECN CE and a
new issue(#65 <https://github.com/quicwg/ack-frequency/issues/65>) adding a
NO_ACK frame are notable changes and have not received wide discussion, so
I wanted to publicize them here before merging any changes.

I think both changes are heading in the right direction, and both have PRs
you can comment on.

I'd like to merge these in a week or so if there's no pushback, so please
take a look when you have time.

Thanks, Ian
