I am going through the Gen-ART reviews related to documents on tomorrow’s IESG 
telechat agenda.

For this document, thanks a lot for your review, Roni.

Going to the comment and response from Lorenzo:

Lorenzo: Personally, I think it would perhaps useful to consider a slight 
reformulation of the text, given that for things like tethering or virtual 
machines, hosts essentially become routers.
