Behcet,
In my experience, if you have to change the intended status of a draft,
you need to make significant changes to the text and often to the whole
structure of the draft. So it's very painful if the intended status
changes right near the end of the process, and therefore preferable by
far to get consensus on what the intended status should be when the
draft is first adopted by the WG.

Not really – this draft might be better targeted as
“Informational” as it is not a comprehensive review of current
practice (best or otherwise) nor an overall set of
recommendations, e.g., as Bob wrote “it just asserts what
appears to be one view of how a whole VM Mobility system works.”
At present we have no intention of changing the intended status
because that decision should be deferred until IESG Review where
we expect to receive an authoritative view.
Right - this is pretty clear in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2026#section-6.1.2. The IESG is
supposed to make sure the status coming out makes sense, whether the
intended status going in made sense or not.
Having said that, I would encourage people to take their best shot at
recommending the intended status going into IESG Review, because
having 15 people who haven't thought about the intended status as much
as other people should have, trying to figure that out during a
telechat week makes more sense if the document comes in with an
obviously inappropriate intended status - if you can send a document
with an appropriate intended status, the document is more likely to
come out with the right status, in my experience.
Do the right thing, of course!
Spencer
