So is the current system.  Why does it have to change?

Well, given the origin of this thread, there are large numbers of
users who consider the current system to be broken.

More specifically, there are certain entities that feel they don't
have enough control over the system.  They don't want a system in
which anyone can do anything, even if they don't approve of it
personally.  Freedom frightens them.

And they have money and power so they're going to find a solution.

Translation: They have money and power so they are going to eliminate
freedom.

The question is whether this organization is going to be involved in
that answer or not. You can either sit back and feel smug about
thinking your solution is right or you can address the perceived
problems of the users and provide them with technical solutions to
it....

I don't hear too many _users_ complaining about anything.  It's mainly
corporations and governments who want to control every bit that passes
over the Net.
