David, can you add some supplementary information to your cover letter
et al.  which seems to be part of what Alexei is asking for and seems
quite reasonable?

It is not clear to me what more is wanted in the cover letter.

A bit late and people in this thread probably already do know the context.

But for those like me that did not: a summary or pointer to the
overall goal and design would be informative. A search dug up the RFC
from last year. That definitely helped me understand the intent a bit
better.
