Hi Koen, Rather than thinking of this as advantages and disadvantages to waiting, I see it as an engineering process. It was decided earlier this year that the L4S proposal has enough support to continue, so we're on that path now. Part of that decision, as I understood it, also recognized that there are valid safety concerns around compatibility with existing AQMs, and some solution needs to be devised. RFC3168 bottleneck detection was added to TCP Prague, which appears to be difficult to do reliably when there is jitter or cross-flow traffic, and it has since been disabled in the reference implementation. The l4s-ops draft was started, but isn't complete yet and may need WG adoption as part of a LC. We can then decide how effective the proposed mitigations are against the risks and prevalence. To start a WGLC now would circumvent that earlier recognition that a safety case needs to be made. Meanwhile, since testing showed that tunnels through RFC3168 FQ AQMs are a straightforward path to unsafe flow interaction, along with other issues relative to the goals, it doesn't seem like the engineering process is done just yet.
