As a process point, I believe that once we conclude our discussion here
about what if anything to say about RC4, we will not be slowed down
regardless of whether we include RC4.  I think that coming to consensus
to remove RC4 references is likely as difficult as coming to consensus
to keep it.


So, my opinion as someone familiar with IETF process is that we should
do what is right: it will take about the same time either way.
