RE: Putting requirements on volunteer tool developers (Was: Re: Daily Dose version 2 launched)

I think we need to be a little careful. Code is Law.

In particular control of the conformance suite for a specification provides 
much greater power to influence the marketplace than mere control of the 
specification document.


The reason much of the IETF process is the way it is today is that process was 
reified as tools.


It needs to be clear where change control lies.

Their preferences are very relevant, because often they 
created these 
things out of their own needs. They are very keen on 
hearing what the 
users think, but please do not claim that their preferences are 
irrelevant.

I very much agree with Jari on this. Both the old and new 
daily doses have been and continue to be very useful.
