Russ, should the SIDROPS chairs not be entirely convinced enough
implementation work was done to comply with Standards Track
implementation requirement, the draft's status could be marked as
"Waiting for Implementation"

>From https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/help/state/draft-stream-ietf/

    """
    Waiting for Implementation

    In some areas, it can be desirable to wait for multiple interoperable
    implementations before progressing a draft to be an RFC, and in some
    WGs this is required. This state should be entered after WG Last
    Call has completed.
    """

It might be good to hear back from at least one other implementation
effort.

Kind regards,
