Hi Phill,
We held a workshop about this dogfood "Internet Technology Adoption and
Transition" (ITAT) in December, where we talked a bit about that, not
just from a security perspective. I'll have a draft of the report
posted when the directory reopens, and there will be a brief BRIEF
report in the tech plenary (which will be busy).

We have a lot of security protocols that the IETF does not deploy on
its own sites.
There is thus a push from many quarters to have the IETF eat its own
dog food which is of course an excellent idea.
But could I just point out that the point is not to eat the dog food
so as to convince ourselves just how tasty and yummy it is. The value
of a dog food program comes when the manufacturer realizes that there
is a reason the dogs don't like it and changes the recipe.
Without feedback, the process is like doing usability evaluations in a
lab and taking no notice of the outcomes.
I am seeing a lot of groups demanding the IETF eat the dog food but
rather fewer asking why they dog food isn't being eaten.
