OPES is evil incarnate

I can't believe what i'm reading here

the though of the IETF hosting a group whose primary purpose
is to attack the end-to-end principle is abhorrent.  there is
no other both obvious and likely use for this "technology"
than unwanted interdiction.  it is evil.  "Just Say No."

yes indeed, sometimes people will insist on doing stupid
things, but they should go do them elsewhere, well away from
the IETF and certainly without the IETF impremateur.

the premise that by hosting them we might be able to 
help them be slightly less stupid is just pointless.

creating an OPES working group will be a collossal
mistake the IETF will regret for a very long time

harumph.
