The issue Jared is needing a consensus in a community where that may be impossible to achieve because of differing agendas - so does that mean that the protocol should not exist because the IETF would not grant it credence? Interesting.
There are just 256 numbers available in https://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers. We could decide that we only assign them when there's a consensus or we could go with the alternative. Which do you prefer? There are a whole bunch of well-known policies. On the whole, the less limited the resource is the more liberal the policy. Maybe that's wrong and we should make everything FCFS.
