It's not unreasonable to expect more failure than success as part of the
human enterprise. If anything the structure of incentives around IETF
activities tend (imho) to cause  us to spend more time dwelling on the
failures, the things that turned out to be a bad idea, and so forth then
simply moving on.

That's true enough. However, I'm not sure that a protocol whose usage rate
has grown by a factor of ~5.5 relative to total Internet traffic in the
last two years, at one significant content provider, is ready to be declared
a failure. That would normally be considered a success.

Ditto for a protocol whose usage has grown by a factor of ~5
since May this year at another significant measurement point.
