I think a common notion is that when a document moves up in status (this
one is going from Independent Stream Informational to IETF Stream Proposed
Standard), we are expected to drop things that are not in use.  There's a
lot of argument being presented here that failure reports are generated by
almost nobody.  Deciding whether to drop them seems on target to me.

The problem is that there's no longer a working group.  We might blame me
for that; it sure seemed to me like the WG that existed was out of energy
and going in circles, and so I pressed it to get done by a deadline.

Failure reporting, if we do want it, now needs a venue, the options being
(a) reopen the WG, (b) get an AD to sponsor it (I wouldn't), or (c) publish
it via the ISE (outside of the IETF).  None of those involve "least
resistance" to me.  The minimal effort lies in what were presented as
options 2 and 3.

I'm relatively certain that if we do decide to reopen the WG to answer this
question and do the work, we're going to need new chairs and a very tight
new charter with some solid milestones and some serious commitment from the
advocates that want to see the work done.
