Bernard:
The worst case latency comes from the expert review with
non-disclosure agreements.
We really do believe that this will make the latency much more consistent.

I also agree that the change is appropriate. However, I am also aware of
significant frustration being voiced with respect to the speed by which
the expert review process moved -- and this change could slow it
further. It's worth keeping in mind that the IETF has no power to prevent
people from using unallocated protocol numbers.
