+1 to most of Kyle's remarks.

I think the chairs made a noble attempt to crystallize the best question
to ask in "input or output", but in the end it now seems to me it's beside
the point, particularly because of the way it was framed as roughly a proxy
for "L4S: is it sufficiently safe, or no?".

However, I will disagree that the 2 options Kyle suggested are the only ways
forward (those being: update RFC3168 more strongly than 8311 or demonstrate
much better robustness for detection).  I believe there's at least one more
way, which I've tried to outline here:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tsvwg/vW8eEt7V58SWPoLIJ5dklCG4WqM/


I think Neal's recent suggestion to recommend bleaching is 4th possible
way forward:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tsvwg/kyDZ7vYLeOk1V15nZfNXGmaUNxk/

However, I'll give a strong +1 to all David's remarks on how unfortunate
that would be from his message here:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tsvwg/JVdZm1heomcZg5YXBQ9GAMVWKic/

I'd add that it also would work against the success of existing or under-way
deployments of RFC 3168 queues by imposing a new bleaching requirement that
may not be trivial for all networks with marking queues.

(Even so, I agree it’s a worthwhile mitigation that should be mentioned
in the L4S docs, if I'm in the rough and we land on choosing not to support
robust RFC 3168 compatibility.)

Best,
Jake
