Hi, Mario and Vijay.

7942 says that the Implementation Status section is inappropriate to
include in an RFC because it’s transient information that changes, and is
usually obsolete quickly.

But I don’t interpret Vijay’s suggestion as asking you to leave the section
in the document in it’s entirety, but, rather, to put non-ephemeral
information about a reference implementation into an appendix.  If there’s
a stable implementation that can be used in that way, I think it would be
appropriate, and I agree with Vijay that it could be helpful to other
implementors to have that information available.
