That depends on how you define junk mail. If everyone does not share the same
definition, there is a problem.
That is true, as far as it goes. However, in the IETF world, we seem to have
reached much more than "rough consensus" on the definition.
Let me propose a radical solution: The IESG should charter an IPv8 working
group, and *all* IPv8 related discussions should happen there. They are to
report back to the main IETF list when they have 2 interoperable
implementations.
Remember, Queen Isabella *knew* it was 18,000 miles to China if you went west,
because she knew the world was 25K miles around (not the 12K Columbus claimed).
She gambled 3 leaky ships and a bunch of ex-convicts.
Who knows? We might be as surprised as Queen Isabella was....
