Well...
My idea with the initial mail was:

a) Check if there is anything hindering the evolution of this draft to an RFC.

b) Bet in try to make possible a thing that nowadays could be considered impossible, like:
   "How to enable the BFD capability on a route-server with 2000 BGP Sessions without crashing the box?"


And maybe:
c) How about suggesting a standard best practice dor ARP-Timeout for IXPs.
   And creating tools to measure the ARP-Timeout configurations of each participant, and make this info available trough standard protocols.

I think the OP said:
" At least 10 years after the release of RFC

it's not an rfc yet.
