KT> That sentence provides a context about RFC9252 to someone not familiar
with it. IIRC it was added/expanded in response to a comment.

KT>  The RFC8986 is referenced in the introduction and other places where
it pertains to the specific behavior or the SID structure. We tried to keep
the abstract short.

KT> I've rephrased since this is the 2nd comment that I got on that
sentence.

KT> There is nothing like an "RFC 8986 SID". There is only SRv6 SID and
RFC8986 specifies the structure for SRv6 SID - refer
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8986#section-3

KT> The utilization is referring to "... ES routes" and hence correct.

KT> They might seem generic, but actually are very specific to how this
particular behavior is signaled using two different EVPN routes.

KT> Yes, I will do that when I start a new ID using md.
