Even stronger.
The IETF rules REQUIRE that EVERY feature of the spec has at least
2 interoperable implementations when the spec moves from Proposed
to Draft Standard, AND that this is documented to the IESG.
Deleting features IS allowed.

So when it's time, it's time either for some high speed coding or
for some high speed scissor work....
