RE: DOS (was: Experimental makes sense for tls-authz)

You are reminded of MARID?

That was the last time RMS had one of these write in campaigns. That then led 
to a counter-write-in campaigns.

Lets all write Congress while we are at it.

What was it, 30 messages collected by Megatron over eight days ?
FYI 36 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4949#page-101> offers a 
definition for "denial of service".

Of course some messages about a "standard on experimental track"
or similar kind of miss the point.  As a "campaign" it 
reminded me of the weird "yes, we will deploy sender-id" 
parade in MARID.

Other messages were perfectly on topic, apparently from 
concerned folks.  I agree with the drift in the rest of your 
message, but of course I won't say anything about the 
specific I-D in an IETF Last Call, for starters I didn't read it.  

OTOH I also agree with the drift of pages like 
<http://ffii.org>, that includes a case where "attack" would 
be putting it mildly.
