I think that's the right thing to do.  The only important drafts that are
not currently in the hands of either the IESG or the RFC Editor are RTT
and 4via6, and we have nothing new to say on either subject. (I've got
shell shock after one year of bullying by the IESG, so I'm not willing to
push RTT right now; as to 4via6, it is not ready, see point (γ) below.)

I believe that we've done all that was needed as far as specifications are
concerned, the current priorities are implementation and research:

  α. get HMAC into babeld and BIRD mainline;
  β. decide whether to update FRR to comply with 6126bis, or to remove
     Babel from FRR (FRR Babel has no maintainer);
  γ. redo the experiments with 4via6 with ICMP in mind, write a paper or
     a technical report on the subject;
  δ. update the 4via6 draft once we've reached a conclusion.

I suggest discussion of these should happen on babel-users rather than
babel at ietf.
