If we=92re going to do this in opsawg, I can create a repo for us in our or=
g and push the current text there.

Just throwing this in as a thought as i IIRC did not note this at the
mic; I coarsely see two groups in here; What I think might be a good
thing is clarifying the creation of state (specific to ICMP/ICMPv6) via
ICMP/ICMPv6 messages and/or state dependence. That will entail some
security considerations tied to that.

[JMC] Not just state.  Some of those drafts expose access to management dat=
a that has traditionally been protected behind some form of credential.  Ex=
posing it to =93anyone=94 with no real accountability definitely raises the=
ir own security considerations.
