Yes, I wanted the issue separate so we could decide on it *independently*.

Once we decide what do do, we can then make a decision on how best to do 
it. In this case, there's no disagreement that SQ should be deprecated, 
or that (IMO) that issue should be decided independent of other ICMP or 
TCP issues.

The question is whether *issuing* a separate doc is the best way to 
achieve that recommendation. IMO, this is one of the ones that can wait. 
that's what I'm hearing from others too.

We all are. Realistically, an RFC officially deprecating a feature that 
is already recommended against, and is already not being used (far as 
any of us can tell) serves no *urgent* purpose.

Yes, that means this issue might wait on the shelf for a long time. So what?
