Oh.  Now I understand.

You are trying to impose new requirements on the original work, many
years after the IETF approved it.

Thanks.  Very helpful.

That's not an appropriate response. It is certainly not helpful to me as
the consensus caller. And it is rude.


Since you've made this a formal process point, I'll ask you to substantiate it carefully and also formally. The implication of your assessment is that IETF participants must not comment on the utility of comments by others.

I don't recall that being a proscribed behavior, since it has nothing to do with personalities. So, please explain this in a way that does not sound like Procrustean political correctness.

For the record, I entirely acknowledge that my note has an edge to it and yes, of course alternate wording was possible. However the thread is attempting to reverse extensive and careful working group effort and to ignore widely deployed and essential operational realities, including published research data.

A bit of edge is warranted for such wasteful, distracting and destabilizing consumption of IETF resources. In fact an important problem with the alternate wording, such as you offered, is that it implies a possible utility in the thread that does not exist.
