Citation? I'm not aware of any. If there are no citations due to a lack of public release then I'd be as critical of basing a decision on that as I was about the lack of use-case detail supplied by folks who do want the new WG. Decisions here ought not be based on rumour which is what your statement about the US army ends up as in the absence of citations or real details I'm afraid. In the case of N4C, you are incorrect to infer that others involved in that project would have agreed with my alternative proposal. We simply don't know as they've not spoken up. Its also not correct to say that 5050 caused deployment difficulty for N4C - it didn't really. (My own reasons for preferring a different target differ form that, but were stated already in this discussion.) S.
