I have also read the draft, and while I'm not entirely enthusiastic about the
approach, it's quite clear this is going to happen regardless, and having a
standardized mechanism for it strikes me as a far superior situation than
having a bunch of nonstandard ways to do it deploy.

I also find the objections to adopting it I've seen so far to be lacking
foundation.

I therefore support adoption of this draft.
