I get that, and I note that the few reports that I have received have

You did not answer my concerns wrt. the necessary document changes if
chosing 2 or 3, and how that would impact WG consensus.

Since I joined, I do not remember any, "we'll likely abandon failure
reporting" statements being made. Neither did anyone tell me not to
bother when working on that document and sending pull requests. I'm a
bit surprised, but I'll get over
it.

Option 2 seems particularly bad in the face of this almost ready
document we have to replace it. I might consider 3 as the way forward,
but I don't see how the necessary adjustments to the two existing
documents can be worked on if the WG is closed.

There is something I do not understand here.

Am I just worrying too much?
