People are free and should be encouraged to bring their idea to the IETF/tcpm and then have a discussion with the experts there figuring out if their proposed solution is the right approach or if there are other better alternatives. Just trying to send these people away doesn’t help.
The issue is similar to security considerations, congestion issues with
UDP, etc - the community *is* extending and adapting TCP and certainly
we're providing feedback, but that feedback would be a lot more
efficient if the community knew what our expectations were, IMO.

Especially when some of these requests for transport analysis happen in
days/hours before IESG review, as is too often the case.
