Lee,

Warren, in his own unique style, made a point that I was wondering about...

I heard applause during the WG meeting in response to these statements;
sounded like consensus to me. I said I would check that consensus on list.

I think that there is consensus that it is stupid. There is also
consensus that using a fork to get the stuck toast out of the toaster
is a bad idea -- however....

... namely that I think probably all of us on the list can agree 100% that 
having SSH servers reject connections from IP addresses without PTRs is stupid. 
  I haven't seen anyone chime in publicly that they think it *is* a good 
idea... and I doubt we will.

But now what?

I'm not sure that there's necessarily a whole lot of value in us coming out 
with a document "Using PTRs To Reject SSH Connections Considered Harmful" - I 
don't know that our doing so will necessarily motivate the authors of SSH 
servers to change anything. Certainly I think the SSH case could be listed in 
your document of bad things people do with PTRs in IPv4 that will break in IPv6.

Where are you trying to go with this note about consensus?

A bit puzzled,
Dan
