Hi Ilari,

> "If an item is not marked as 'Recommended', it does not necessarily mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases."

I think the flags draft should state that (if that's how it should be interpreted).

FWIW I looked through the current list of extensions and their Y/N assignment for "recommended". The assignment appears random. This is not surprising that extensions are, by their nature, related to specific use cases and therefore have a certain applicability only.

Ciao
Hannes
