[BA] There have been a substantial number of issues filed in TRAC - including against the RTP usage document (which does not adequately cover aspects such as feedback messages and bandwidth estimation), circuit breakers (which appears to compete with the consent mechanism) and the security document (which still has open issues on screen sharing). 
Personally, I'd prefer to spend my time on those issues.
