I think this statement elides that the largest impact here is on
operators, which might be participants of either working group but are
by in large not at the ietf.
As an operator the ability to make recommendations based on practice
that has proven to be problematic is ought to be something others in the
ietf would be interested in. e.g. default accept policies have been
shooting operators in the foot with v4 and v6 unicast AFI's since
literally the dawn of time.
