Note: I haven't been able to do a proper read of this draft. At best I'm going to be able to take a look at a few key issues to check that they match up with what's below. But confirming it is the best scenario, I'm not going to say better than this.

Fortunately at least two people (Ulrich and Jiazi) have, plus some other comments. And the status on some matters has been discussed on list.

I think that AODVv2 could make it to Experimental status. But not to the quality I think it should be in the impossibly short timescale to even review it properly, let alone update it. I wouldn't like to try to estimate the time required, but it's not just days.

That's based on that there have been significant changes that haven't been discussed, fed back into document, reviewed, and that there are significant issues that are still in flux - directionality of metrics, mutability of messages and associated security to name two. Ulrich and Jiazi have raised multiple points, and a few, plus the volume of the rest (even if not all accepted) makes for real time required.

Under normal circumstances I'd say, making progress, not yet at Experimental state, but that's within the foreseeable future. Just not the timescale on offer.

Fortunately for me, I don't have to decide what the consequences of that assessment - combined with those of other people, who may put the bar higher or lower, or just see things differently - are. I can see several possibilities, but I don't think my speculation would help.
