Dear Alfred,

this is the second time that I read such a statement from you. It's
simply not true. The WG performs maintenance... What's about

RFC 5681 - TCP Congestion Control => Maintenance
RFC 5682 - F-RTO => Maintenance
draft-ietf-tcpm-1323bis => Maintenance
draft-paxson-tcpm-rfc2988bis  => Maintenance
draft-ietf-tcpm-tcpmss => Maintenance
draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-auth-opt => Maintenance
draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-lcd => Maintenance in a broader sense
draft-ietf-tcpm-sack-recovery-entry => Maintenance
...

You should not tar everything with the same brush, only because you are
dissatisfied with the progress of one (or two) particular ID.

The WG listens to running code. For example
"draft-ietf-tcpm-sack-recovery-entry": The author Ilpo Jarvinen is currently
the most active TCP Linux implementer!
