Not an unimportant point. If the perception of people bringing work is that acceptance in the IETF is mostly aleatoric, they’ll think twice before investing in an implementation before significant advancement. This is particularly true if they already have a proprietary implementation that will need significant work before it makes all of IETF’s checkmarks. I’m not saying anything of this is wrong or actually fixable. Grüße, Carsten
