My understanding is that we wanted to set a high bar because this really ought to happen with lots of care and review.

The related ticket is <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/188>, and it was discussed during IETF 75 (<http://tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/minutes?item=minutes75.html>).
