If you understand the press so little as to start that sentence with
"I suppose", you might reconsider the validity of the rest of your
attack.
The article in question,
<http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/072108-ipv6nat.html>, directly
quotes Fred Baker, Russ Housley, Alain Durand, and Geoff Huston. How
many IETF-related articles in other magazines bother quoting more
than one person, normally someone who is trying to promote an
Internet Draft? How many discuss competing proposals, including
giving the history of the topic?
Folks: please review all of the IETF-related articles in the IT trade
press from the past five years. Discard the articles that say "the
IETF is considering Foo" when in fact someone had submitted a -00
draft. The very small pile that remains, including interviews with
our leadership about where they think the IETF is going and in-depth
articles comparing multiple contenders being considered in IETF
areas, are mostly written by Carolyn Duffy Marsan.
