Let's keep our flame wars straight. This is the scheduled start
of the latest episode of "I-D's Should Not Be Expired."
maybe we need a FAC (Frequently Argued Controversies) file for the
IETF list. unlike an FAQ file which answers questions, an FAC file
would summarize each side of each argument. that way, we wouldn't
need to re-iterate those positions each time the topic came back
up - we could simply say "see [url]".
to reopen an old discussion someone would then have to argue convincingly
that there was a new angle or potential compromise not seen before,
or that the conditions had changed rendering part of the old argument
invalid or moot.
