In my opinion, this discussion has shown that there would be useful work

proposal to evolve Shim6 as a locator-pair-providing substrate for
multi-path TCP is a very good idea. One may even go a step further and 
provide a similar service also for UDP-based applications.

Isn't that an argument for closing SHIM6 and chartering a new group  
with a new mission?

But SHIM6 works at the IP level Christian, so the simultaneous use of  
a number of locator pairs in supporting TCP  also allows UDP flows to  
utilize the same service. From that perspective I don't see why the  
delta of effort here in incorporating UDP crosses some magic threshold  
at this point that forces the IETF to perform a WG shuffle.
