There is a "release early - release often cycle" in the IETF process -
it is called the Internet Drafts stage. Unfortunately, often people
wait for things to stabilize (becoming an RFC) before implementing. I
assume we would have fewer but more solid data models if they would
all come along with running code behind them (and ideally > 1
independent implementations). The problem might be "us" and not the
update rules.
