Judging from the discussion on the list and from the interim meeting report I think we have consensus to deprecate RC4. There are different views on when to deprecate RC4 with the majority view seeming to fall within the next few years. I am going to recommend that the IESG proceed with publication of the draft as is. Thanks, Joe
