=> I think we should all learn from the RFC 3314 experience where IETF
(IPv6 WG at the time) made clear recommendations to 3GPP about address
configuration and all the recommendations were adopted in the same
release. I know these are smaller recommendations but this happens all the
time and we shouldn't worry about achieving things before trying to get a
unified view and presenting it. RFC 3316 is another example, although it
was more of a consensus-based approach between the two organisations
