To date, to my knowledge, we have no implementation reports on *RPL* or
*RPL P2P* which mention interoperability.   I think that as the ETSI
6tisch minimal efforts/plugfests will provide sufficient evidence on RPL
to advance it along the standards track itself.

As for *RPL P2P* --- it's a good question.  The decision to put P2P on
experimental track predates the current chairs (and also the ADs), and
I'd have to go do some research to establish why it went that way in the
first place, and see if those concerns still exist.

While we do not need interoperation to get to PS, it would probably help
to alleviate whatever concerns drove it towards Experimental in the
first place.

I'd prefer to leave P2P alone in the short term; I think we will be
overloaded otherwise.
