  As a backup question: Are there *any* implementations of v2?

  The draft does not make it clear if this is the case.  Can the authors
step in and give their opinion?

  Yes and no.  Section 3.1 says:

   The version negotiation procedure guarantees that the EAP-FAST peer
   and server will agree to the latest version supported by both
   parties.  If version negotiation fails, then use of EAP-FAST will not
   be possible, and another mutually acceptable EAP method will need to
   be negotiated if authentication is to proceed.

  This makes it *possible* for an implementation to support v2 only.
This will require starting version negotiation for EAP-FASTv2, and then
switching to a different EAP method.

  Implementations traditionally have found it difficult to start one EAP
method, and then to switch to another one.  This means that v2-only
implementations may be difficult to deploy in practice.

  I will partially avoid those two questions, and say that it should be
possible to deploy only the EMU tunneled method.
