[As a contributor] Hi Juergen,
I agree with you that req #5 sticks out as the odd ball in the bunch. I suggested once to remove it a long time back, but I guess it fell on deaf ears then. Anyway, given where we are with this document, I’m unsure what to do, but here are our options: 1. Leave requirement #5 in the document, but spend time improving it to WG satisfaction. 2. Take requirement #5 out, declaring it an unwanted distraction from the primary opstate focus. We’d have to be sure to get sign-off from the OC folks too... So far it sounds like Juergen and I are with #2, how about others?
