An internet where to survive on you need an third party anti-ddos service is 
pretty fundamentally wrong. As much as I love cloudfare, the fact that we need 
it is something we inside and outside the ietf, should address with haste.

Nobody's prohibiting access to any of our public documents.  And as
someone pointed out elsewhere, if one wants to copy every last bit of
IETF documentation, they are able to do so and provide whatever access
they wish.  To my knowledge nobody else has raised the concern that that
the Tor people are raising, and so we are being asked to specifically
support Tor.  Fine.  That means we then need to consider the
benefit/harm of our actions regarding who precisely we are helping.  I
asked that question honestly without an answer, but with concerns.
