Holding gs2





I have a question for the SASL working group.  With the exception of
the question I brought up about optimal round trips, GS2 seems ready
to last call.


However I'd like to ask the WG to consider whether it really wants to send GS2 on its way now.

I think it may be better to hold GS2 until we get experience with a
SASL+GSS mechanism.  I'd hate for that effort to fail because we are
unable to make some small change in GS2.

If the WG believes that sending GS2 on its way now is the best thing
to do I (or my successor) can send it to ietf last call after we
finish discussion on my comments.  I just think it would be better to
hold that document until we get a mechanism that is both a GSS and
SASL mechanism or we conclude that doesn't work for us.
