FWIW, I see and understand your point. However, based on the operational implications of fragmentation, it believe it is *extremely* unlikely that the situation improves (if at all possible). So my take is that this I-D rather than endorsing the status quo, is essentially warning possible users of what it may happen with their fragmented traffic. Side coments: It would all seem that there are two operating environments: * Controlled environments, where you can somehow make all this work * Public internet, which is more of a "fingers crossed" thing (if anything). I'm not saying that I'm happy with the outcome, but rather that I think that from an engenering point of view, it all looks like this ship has sailed, and we should probably figure out how to deal with those cases where fragmentation is actually needed.
