Hi Tom,
Assuming that IETF process needs to be fixed, then, IMO, should not be on the cost of breaking the kernel process here.
Let us add to the kernel things that have been reviewed and reached some consensus.
For new features that still need to be reviewed we can have them outside the kernel tree for community to use.
This way the community does not get blocked by IETF process but also keep the kernel tree stable.
Thanks,
Ahmed
