I appreciate the work that has gone into this document. People have
worked hard to find examples, cases and even pithy

document tries to be broad and to look at a lot of options. I think
that it would be reasonable to publish this document as the current
thinking of the ops WG or ops area. It may even be reasonable to use
something like this as guidelines for network/routing/sub-network
layer protocols to think about management and operations.
However this document is not suitable for publication as a BCP because:
The document is a good piece of work. The considerations discussed
in it may help other areas understand the thinking of the ops area as
management and operations considerations are often
overlooked. Bernard Aboba posted some interesting comments on
Section 1 of this draft for the Last Call.
I don't think that the document scales well from an IETF perspective
as a BCP. As such, I do not support its publication as a BCP.
