Re: [pim] WG Last Call - draft-ietf-pim-bidir-06

[Isidor Kouvelas <kouvelas at cisco.com>]

I agree with Mike that we should not try to modify the current

address this in a separate (possibly non backward compatible) revision
if necessary. The current specification has been fairly stable for a
while and reflects at least 2 shipping implementations.
