With respect to LCUP, as I noted at IETF#55, we're not at the end
of the LCUP engineering process but somewhere in the middle.

I think the middle is a large area but we are closer to the end of the middle than the beginning of the middle ;-)

effort is seems also to struggling a bit, but I believe there is a
reasonable level of interest (both within our community as well
as our consumers) in LCUP.  I think the key to this being successful
as a WG effort is narrowing the WG's focus to LCUP standardization
and having our chairs, with the help from the ADs, keep this
effort on a very short leash.

Hence, I support option 2 with a couple of caveats.
  I) LCUP be the only WG deliverable
    Ia) resolve major outstanding issues by IETF#56
    Ib) progress documents by IETF#57
  II) allow review of LDUP I-D produced by individuals
     (as long as these reviews does not slow LCUP progress)

I don't think the LCUP effort is "struggling" much if at all, but I agree that it will be helpful to keep LDUP alive long enough to complete the LCUP work.
