Nor in terms of motivations either. However, it seems relevant to
the question of whether the IETF should continue to do standards

the IETF had said "Too soon, we'll just leave IPng aside for now;
those interested can take it to the IRTF."
Unfortunately there is no such thing as "the market". Different
stakeholders have different needs in terms of whether they need an RFC
before they deploy.
