I haven't looked at timing. But I think you can assume it's been there
from the start. I don't think you can expect maintainers of the base
specifications to review these drafts without them explicitly asking
for hooks. I try nonetheless to do that and as a result there's my
blog post and reviews of drafts across many groups, but it's not
really something that works long term.
