I remember that some time back there was the concept: "If there is something
similar already out there try to reuse it (or at least you have to justify for
a really long time why you need some a little bit different)."
Now, some folks seem to introduce a new concept: "Hey, I have just had this
really, really simple idea why don't we just trash related existing work."

Betreff: Complexity (was RE: The Emperor Has No Clothes: Is
PANA actuallyuseful?)
GEE is but a small optional enhancement to address the
case of parallel EAP authentications. GEE is not an EAP lower layer
and thus it is invalid to compare it to PANA.
What is GEE than? Please explain it to us in terms of RFC 3748.
So far evaluations done by the broader
community seem to be concluding that PANA is in fact complex and not
easily deployable.
Who would that community be?
I have heard the complexity issue from you and few others
multiple times,
but there has never been a justification to this claim.
We are not feeding on complexity, we are not married to it
either. If you
can tell us what parts we can simplify, the whole community would be
grateful to you.
Please describe where you see unnecessary complexity, and
suggest remedies.
Thanks.
Alper
