Another problem here is that many companies no longer are willing to admit that
they are implementing something until it has become an RFC (and sometimes not
even then). A working group chair that asks whether anybody is willing to
implement something is often chastised for trying to get companies to reveal
proprietary product plans. So it has become harder to assess whether there is
any reasonable likelihood that something will be implemented.
