is there any change that this document moves forward before it expires again?
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-argon2/

I do not understand these processes (what it is waiting for now?), but Argon2 is
already used in several places, and some RFC would be really nice to have.
(And we can help to integrate this in generic crypto libraries, but without
any normative document it is quite problematic.)

Thanks
Milan
