in the absence of a (somewhat unbiased) summary of the critical
issues(s), what do you suggest?
I was going to say this off list, but what the heck?
To be honest I'm trying to stay quiet. I think I've made my opinion
plain, and although I am of course the only human being alive who doesn't
suffer from confirmation bias, I'd *really* like to hear what people
think whose opinion I haven't already heard 20 times.
I try not to be a purist. If the right answer is to allow packet
modifications that break PMTUD and IPsec/AH, let's do it, but let's
also say we're doing it. (I happen to think it's the wrong answer,
but that's my problem.) Leaving the text open to interpretation
would make a mockery of promoting it to Standard.
