We're actually pretty good at fighting various kinds of malicious email
and while I know headers like Received do play a role there, I'm not yet
convinced that their role is so fundamental that removing them, or
removing essential parts of them, would see these (proactive and
reactive) defenses collapse.
And I do actually think there is a privacy issue here and that we
shouldn't dismiss that right away.
However, I agree with others that the proposed charter seems a little
premature and that, to quote Dave Crocker, we ought to have "public
discussion about the technical aspects of this policy tradeoff" first.
