That helps a lot and matches my speculation, thank you!

Florian,
This document has quite some history, indeed. SF0 became SFX, then there was ASF. MSF contains contributions from both SFX and ASF. ASF, SF0 and SFX will therefore not become RFCs as standalone documents. You are right, LLSF, which was designed by Dr Tengfei Chang, hasn't been turned into an I-D. 6P is absolutely designed to allow multiple SFs; we now have an IANA registry to give each SF and SFID. Multiple SFs can even be run in parallel in the same network. Despite the fact that every other word in this e-mail is an acronym, I hope this answers your question :-)

    Congratulations for this great result of the work of so many people
    over
    so many years!

    It would be great if someone could briefly sketch the history of this
    draft for me since I am only reading this mailing list occasionally.
    I am at least remembering the scheduling functions SF0, SF1, SFX and
    ASF
    (I also remember LLSF, but as far as I know there was never an IETF
    document for it).

    Does any of these scheduling functions still have functionality
    exceeding MSF that would make an implementation beneficial or is
    everything in MSF now?

    Greetings,
    Florian
