(BGuys,
(B Before we start digging trenches of attrition, let's just pull
(Bback for a minute.

(B First, I think the hype around USAGI has to be immediately
(Bdispelled. Second, I think Hideaki can help with the first point by
(Bhim restating what he has said already: "Please wait." Thirdly, we should
(Btake heed of the second point: "Let's wait."

(B USAGI still has some more of a maturing process to go, and they
(Bneed to present a credible case to the linux-kernel guys and the glibc
(Bguys. Once they're organized (and hopefully the hype is dispelled), then
(Bmaybe everyone can move forward in a reasonable way.
(B
(B If someone wants to discuss things above at the IETF over a brew
(Bof their favourite and discuss things, I'll be lurking at the ngtrans and
(Bipng working groups.....
