Should be done soon.
Hold the phone. We now have a robust and useful case for IPv6 fragmentation when applied to tunnels. Can we still update frag-fragile before it gets published? Or, do we have to wait and update it *after* it gets published? I would prefer before, because allowing to publish as-is with knowledge that an important update is coming just perpetuates the undeserved bad name given to fragmentation 33 years ago. Also, what about intarea-tunnels? That one shows up as expired, but shouldn't we dust it off for publication too (after updating to accommodate new findings)?
