Correct. Upon further discussion in GROW, consensus seems to be that the
transitive nature of the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN signal is a feature, not a
bug. There is no IDR blocker for draft-ietf-grow-bgp-gshut to proceed.

However, somewhere in the future it might be useful to have the ability
to assign functions to well-known non-transitive extended community
values. So while we may not need
draft-ietf-idr-reserved-extended-communities today, it might be useful
tomorrow - moving draft-ietf-idr-reserved-extended-communities
forward might be a good thing.

I appreciate that - and I think the approach is working.

Kind regards,
