If the goal of the draft is to raise awareness that:
  "things are changing, old tools (tcpdump, etc) are not going to be as
useful for network troubleshooting when more of the packet is encrypted"

That's a fine goal, but statements in the draft like:

" Encryption of the transport layer brings some well-known privacy and
   security benefits, but also introduces various costs that need to be
   considered."

maybe 'considered' there should be: "planned for" ... There's also this:

  "Pervasive use of transport header encryption can impact the ways that
   protocols are designed, standardised, deployed, and operated.  The
   choice of whether future transport protocols encrypt their protocol
   headers therefore needs to be taken based not solely on security and
   privacy considerations, but also taking into account the impact on
   operations, standards, and research."

>From an operations perspective it seems that better/different tools is
still the end result of these changes. Holding back the tide of better
privacy for users in favor of not producing tooling to solve operations
problems seems contradictory to a better world for users.
