I hope my explanation made it clear that this should not be the goal.
If you think that how i outlined it makes sense, let me know, or how
you think it should be changed. Overall i just think there is limited
interest to work on things not getting published as RFCs.

I think what we need should be similar to what we have in some of the
explanations in Pascals document and the IETF103 slides i did.

See above. I would like not do do throwaway work, and you let me know
if you think if drafts not becoming RFC are throwaway. If you don't
think they are, then please tell me who still knows
draft-ietf-idmr-pim-arch
