I can sympathize with your complaint; I got so irked by people
misunderstanding what the end-end principle was (along another axis - state)
that I wrote a rant about it ("Will The Real 'End-End Principle' Please Stand
Up?"), available here:
We have a lot work going on in the IETF today. What common architectural
principles or assumptions should the current work adhere to? Can the IAB
articulate that?
To quote rfc 1601:
A major role of the IAB is long range planning. The IAB is
expected to "pay attention" to important long-term issues in the
Internet, and to make sure that these issues are brought to the
attention of the group(s) that are in a position to address them.
It is also expected to play a role in assuring that the people
responsible for evolving the Internet and its technology are aware
of the essential elements of the Internet architecture.
