It's too late for Internet Changing Things (BGP4, TCP, IPv6 Header Options)..

It's still too early for things we know little about
(SPF, IPsecME AD VPN, all the LLN stuff).. 

just to name a few, there are lots of examples I know.

The problem is partly that we apply the same process regardless of
impact... The review is therefore too late for Internet Changing Things,
and way to heavy for new things that are more self-contained.
