2821/2822 are "Proposed Standards" and have been out for 1.5 years now.
What will it take to move them forward to Draft Standard?
At a minimum a new version of 2821 needs to be prepared. A new version
of 2822 may be needed as well.
I suspect 2822bis would be able to move to draft. I think it is unlikely
that 2821bis will be able to.
We've had
considerably longer than 1.5 years to get operational experience with
them, and I KNOW that there are lots of interoperational instances of each.

P.S. If 2821 and 2822 need to be reissued, it might also be nice if they
could be done in time to get the numbers 3821 and 3822. My estimate is
that those numbers will be reached in about 23 months. That should give
us enough time to work on them, if we started now. :-)
Good point ;-)
