The solution that was chosen was chosen in part because of the tech-ctte discussion and because of opinions expressed by the tech-ctte members. I believe it's a case where we would have made a formal decision had the process been working more efficiently, and that it's worthwhile recording that decision going forward. I say that in part with my Policy editor hat on, as there was quite a lot of discussion about this and related topics in the Policy context and this decision provides some welcome clarity to how similar situations should be handled going forward. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
