Hey, we not only had code that ran we also had "bake-offs" to make sure
all the stuff worked together. The idea was to work out the nuances (the
20% of the inaccuracies) and produce a damn good system. Today the idea
is to slap something together - damn the interop - and get out the door
for the "first mover advantage." We also tend to not worry about the
experience of the user - we expect them to understand our "Gold" is more
like fool's gold than a well thought out and tested system.
We still have bakeoffs. Or do you have some statistics that
show we have now less bakeoffs per RFC than we used to,
or that the bakeoffs are later than they used to be? ("We"
here is the internet community, the IETF doesn't hold
bakeoffs.)
