Is this sentence necessary?

[Erik]

Yes, it is needed.  This response comes from an IESG comment which would
have been a 'discuss' comment and slowed down the progress of the
document.  Further, this changed text was approved in the WG last call
process last month.

[Stuart]

Just for my own benefit, could you please explain what that sentence is
talking about? Why single out wireless? What about powerline? Infrared?
HPNA? IP-over-USB?

[Erik]

    This sentence addresses the concern of an IESG member.  The
     proper time to engage them is during the interval in which they
     are reviewing the document.

     The sentence is harmless, though not very useful.  Including it
     was necessary to get the document approved.

Requested Change:

Omit
