I don't think anyone has proposed green lighting anything.

I agree that new protocol enhancement proposals need to be subject to very
rigorous review before being accepted. And my feeling is that DNS working
group chairs to date have largely been trying to ensure that the working
group does that.

Roy's point, which I agree with totally, is that the "DNS camel" metaphor
has been used to injudiciously and indiscriminately bludgeon away good
proposals too. And why isn't there a TLS camel, or a HTTP camel by the way?
Those are protocol communities where the rate of enhancements seem to be
significantly higher than DNS.

Shumon.
