Bert,

I didn't know/recall that.  Did you consider asking for expedited publication
of the approved I-D?  

If the IESG would prefer for us to advise the RFC-Editor we do not want them
to assign fast track numbers, I will accept this for consistency.  Alternatively,
perhaps we can ask for expedited publication of the two drafts to minimize the
exposure of the numbers.
