You have been told several times, by CFRG participants and others, that if someone implements a draft.  For example, see https://www.ietf.org/standards/ids/ .  In particular: “Internet-drafts have no formal status, and are subject to change or removal at any time.”

 

You cannot pressure authors to update a draft because some people have deployed it in production and there is a bug.

 

In particular, your note refers to the draft several times as a “standard” and you call them “RFC authors.”  Both of those are incorrect.  It is a draft, not an RFC, and not a standard.


I appreciate your clarification on the terminology but if you search https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/cfrg/?q=standard or https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/cfrg/?q=rfc, thousands of results show up.
