First, read this draft:<br>
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-protocol-maintenance-04" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-protocol-maintenance-04</a><br>
<br>
There's a discussion thread at:<br>
<a href="https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/architecture-discuss/?gbt=1&index=jBCAqATbCy0kzt8bR_59LNlWjCU" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/architecture-discuss/?gbt=1&index=jBCAqATbCy0kzt8bR_59LNlWjCU</a><br>
<br>
As you will see, your question is apposite to that draft. I'm a bit biased, because I was document editor for <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1958" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1958</a> and of course Jon had a hand in that.<br>
