Finally the last I-D has been approved and reached the RFC Editor Queue.

Now just the editing process.

>    Huawei has implemented this specification.

>    Examples of how these objects could adversely affect the operation of
>    a virtual router include:
> 
>    o An unauthorized change to vrrpv3OperationsPriority can affect the
>      priority used in master election resulting in this router either
>      becoming master when it should not, or in some other router being
>      elected by preference. While this will disrupt the operator's plans
>      it will only replicate the unfortunate failure of multiple routers
>      and any router that does become master will be capable of filling
>      that role.
> 
>    o Modification of vrrpv3OperationsPrimaryIpAddr would cause the
>      configured router to take on an incorrect IP addresses if it
>      becomes master which would be potentially very disruptive to the
>      network operation.
> 
>    o A malicious change to vrrpv3OperationsAdvInterval could either
>      result in the configured router flooding the network with
>      advertisements when it becomes master, or the new master not
>      advertising frequently enough such that some routers do not learn
>      about the new master.
> 
>    o vrrpv3OperationsPreemptMode controls whether this router will
>      preempt another master router. Setting it inappropriately will at
>      worse cause one router to be master against the operator's plans,
>      but that router will still be qualified to operate as a master.
> 
>    o Setting the vrrpv3OperationsAcceptMode could prevent an IPv6
>      capable VRRP router from accepting packets addressed to the
>      address owner's IPv6 address as its own even if it is not the IPv6
>      address owner. Although the default for this object is false(2),
>      unauthorized setting of this object to false might restrict the
>      function of some parts of the network.
> 
>    o The vrrpv3OperationsRowStatus object which could be used to disable
>      a virtual router. While there are other columns that, if changed,
>      could disrupt operations, they cannot be changed without first
>      changing the RowStatus object.
