maybe this is because "protocol purity zealots" take a long term
view and want to preserve the flexibility of the net "market" to
continue to grow and support new applications, whereas the NAT
vendors are just eating their seed corn.
Your long term view is irrelevant if you are unable to meet
short term challenges.
very true. but at the same time, it's not enough to meet short term
challenges without providing a path to something that is
sustainable in the long term.
Which is why abdicating responsibility for meeting short term challenges is
so detrimental.
I agree that it's detrimental, but I think something closer to the root
problem is that IETF really has trouble addressing long- and short-term
challenges at the same time.
