Documented support

Adoption lists only support stated in official documentation (the vendor's or project's own, or a standards body's page naming it), and a weekly check confirms the cited phrase is still on that page. Experimental, alpha and beta support is counted separately as preview.

No sourced support entries collected yet. This says nothing about how widely it is used.

    Kathleen's review of identifier-04 has one nit: say that credentials means WIMSE workload credentials.

    Review of draft-ietf-wimse-identifier-04

    Read the explanation

    The only comment concerns the last paragraph of Section 5. It proposes changing the final words from credentials to WIMSE workload credentials, so readers know it refers to the credential formats of [WIMSE-CREDENTIALS]. The review otherwise finds the document well written. This is a terminology fix with no protocol change.
