Agreed.  I certainly wasn't trying to suggest that
zero-information announcements were a good thing, only that we

right thing to do.

Especially since it is now apparent that the relevant
information was readily available in both cases: See Jari's note

in the I-D directory and there is apparently a plan to ask for a
BOF in Quebec.
