Already did, that's how I can speak from experience.

Time-consuming, yes.  Detail-oriented, absolutely.  Painful?  No.

IETF process is painful.  Trying to keep up with this list is  
painful.  Renumbering is much easier.

Been through all of that.  I can provide exhaustive detail of what I  
learned from my early mistakes, and what mistakes I've seen others  
make, and just how trivial they are to avoid these days.  Don't be  
sarcastic to someone when you don't know their background.  I won't  
bother responding to insults, it has never done anything useful in  
the past and I don't expect it to now.
