drafts that have been adopted.

That happens pretty regularly.

Presumably they can help with
process and culture issues, as well.

Here I'm not so sure.  While retaining the basic mission statement,
IETF culture _should_ change, to fit the times and to be relevant.
I'm geezer category and I'm hoping the newer folks come up with a lot
more revolution than they have so far.  I look forward to it.
