The change for more encrypted traffic will force a change of those
operational practices.
This document should serve as for a starting point to have this debate
at the IETF, based on the documentation of those operational practices.
My problem is that it is easy to get consensus on some practices, such
as "gathering statistics for traffic engineering", and much less so on
other practices, such as "opening the HTTP headers and adding
supercookies." The current document does not differentiate at all. It it
was published as is, the naive reader could just deduce that "the IETF
endorses adding supercookies to HTTP headers" -- to take just one
example. I understand that documenting alternatives for each of these
practices in the analysis document is impractical, but we need to find a
way to "document the controversy" -- when it exists of course.
