The technical concern raised during the WG poll has not been resolved so the 
history definetely matters.

Quoting RFC5921:

   There are thus two objectives for MPLS-TP:

   1.  To enable MPLS to be deployed in a transport network and operated
       in a similar manner to existing transport technologies.

   2.  To enable MPLS to support packet transport services with a
       similar degree of predictability to that found in existing
       transport networks.

Based on the extensive comments provided by transport operators and ITU-T 
community, the solution in this draft is useless in case 1.

The fact that the solution in this draft is not backward compatible with 
existing IP/MPLS BFD implementations means that this solution is also uselesee 
in case 2.

Are there other undocumented use cases for MPLS-TP deployments?
