I can't begin to guess at the logic that uses Larry's somewhat bizarre assertion
as a basis for trying to press approval of this clearly and substantially
problematic proposal.
To create a paraphrase, what part of "neither short term nor a fix" did you not
understand?
The concept of "short term" never applies to infrastructure changes, and as Fred
pointed out -- ableit again my paraphrase -- we are messing with something deep
in the IETF's processing infrastructure.
Equally, taking something that already imposes unnecessarily broad impact, and
layering onto it a hack that imposes even more impact, is not a fix.
