If this is true, it's very distressing.
The IDR draft awaits an implementation report in order to advance the draft to Proposed Standard. What is so distressing about this ?
A draft is work in progress. We don't even get to refer to it because it's deleted after 6 months. As such, it's hardly less ephemeral than a conversation.
You can't build implementations based on that. But I guess this is what happens with the convoluted "standards track" mechanism that the IETF currently uses.
One thing that bothers me very much about this is that it will make changes that happen in IETF last call much harder. Essentially that means that anyone who isn't in IDR doesn't get to have his or her input considered.
