I seem to recall many cases where somebody has to explain to $vendor that things have changed and they can’t do what they wanted to do. In more cases than just draft changes. Results of course vary. But, ultimately it is an IETF community decision on what a working group does. Do they weigh the existing implementation base or some other factors more? You or me might disagree with some of those decisions… perhaps on good grounds. I’m not sure the overall situation would be better if we somehow got to override the wg opinions. (Except of course on clear issues that fulfil Discuss criteria.) Jari
