Not sure it was so strong. I'd interpret the list consensus as
being to remove all normative statements where possible with
some people (but maybe not a consensus) saying that that should
get rid of them all.
If there's something that the editors feel should be normative
in the deployment guide then I guess we'll need to deal with
that based on the next rev, but that should be easier if we
get rid of unnecessary 2119 language.
I'm going to be picky about this guidance, only because I know it will bite us
in the ass later, if there is any issue, so I'd rather get this settled before
we do serious revising:
The -Overview is scheduled to be Informational. It can't have normative
text
and be a working group document at Informational, IMO. In any event, having it
contain stray normative text -- absent a very clear mandate for very specific
areas to specify -- invites confusion rather than clarity.
And... my current reading of the draft under revision is that it has no
normative text. My personal expectation is that it will stay that way...
