That was a pivot, but still; there is no reference, there is no coupling.

Tangental: draft-ietf-ospr-segment-routing-extensions-24 has been around
for a while, and the IGP Algo registry will be tied to this draft and it's
fate. If anyone is expecting to use this registry outside of the scope of
this draft, it would be in their best interest to pull the registry
description out into a separate draft.

Which was the agreement a few months ago. Let the IESG decide.
