My confusion comes from the point that draft talks about IGPs and proper WG is LSR WG to discuss this.
I was asking since you apparently want to proceed with it in RTGWG that more then IGPs will be covered. And that actually may not be a bad idea as offloading some stuff from IGP and BGP may land into pub-sub common message bus for distribution. Thx, r.
