I'll comment about the discussion of 
draft-ietf-imapapnd-appendlimit-extension-05 [1].  The following 
comment from Arnt Gulbrandsen caught my attention [2]: "IMO the 
document should answer this particular question".  Arnt was referring 
to the question from Timo Sirainen [3]: "Why implement something that 
going to be a problem in only some very rare cases?"  There was a 
message from Stu Brandt in which he mentioned that there is an 
implementation [4].  There was another comment from Arnt: "Make it 
seem as if the value of the implementation exceeds the effort to 
implement"  [5].  Adrien de Croy mentioned that: "At the moment for 
us appendlimit looks to have negative value overall, and we don't 
plan to implement" [6].  There was a comment from Jayantheesh about 
the using this extension in cases where the user attaches a big file 
and save the mail to their Drafts folder [7].  I view the 
"unnecessary resource usage" in the Introduction Section as a way to 
answer to the question.  Would that convince people to implement this 
extension?

On one hand there is a part of this working group is not convinced 
that it is worthwhile to implement this extension.  On the other 
hand, there is an implementation and another part of this working 
group is okay with the draft.  In my opinion, there is rough 
consensus on this draft.

The next step is for me to do the document shepherd write-up for the 
Area Director.  The Area Director will review and comment about the draft.
