Yakov,

	The fact that this issue does not include discussion 
of removing/deprecating text related to possibly unsupported

summary issue statement.  While the summarization Andrew put
together is excellent and much appreciated, it is not perfect.
The discussion on this particular issue _did_ include the
possibility of deprecating BGP authentication mechanisms that
are not used.

	It does not take very long to find examples of this in
the IDR mailing list archive.

	As only one of many examples, I enclose the following
from the IDR mailing list archive:
