that text remains unchanged in the updated template (see https://github.com/ietf-tools/datatracker/blob/5a31658b7f87054237430ee5fab8a23a8b32a7e8/ietf/templates/doc/shepherd_writeup.txt#L104).

I agree it could be made clearer; thanks for the suggestions (also in the other thread). I'll work through them and propose a PR for review.

Thanks,
Lars
