I am surprised at this. Gathering information about implementations is
something that happens in some WGs and not in others, but it is always
the chair that is driving it, often as part of the write-up prior to
IETF Last Call.
uh, not really. in some wg cultures, it's just seen as part of the
drafters' or implementors' job, just as is doing a mib. i suspect that
the implementation document (and the mib) i used as an example came as a
surprise to the chairs as they are more security than routing area.
