I am 'ok' with a shorter extension. I asked for 6 months because I foresee a reasonable risk of needing more than 3 milestones.
I am not 'ok' with shipping without the imprimatur of progress in the standardization. We recently did ship a phase 3 standard -- exceptions -- that turned out to be a mistake. It is likely going to be many years before that can be fully unwound. To be clear: I do not anticipate any issues with the standard; but then, no-one does.
