People like me are mad because they ended up part of your experiment
before we had a chance to review your results, understand it
technically, and decide in the contents of an IETF standards track
discussion whether it was useful.

That's the point of the IETF standards track.

Why announce it? Why not just silently deploy it in Linux, omit the
measurements because they'd be disruptive, and then declare it all works
in a few years?

Seriously, I'm not against new protocols in general. I'm just not in
