We need to find a way to discuss the design choices so that we are not faced with a bevy of personal prognostications about the likelihood of particular outcomes. Most, if not all, of us will be wrong. Rather: Do we see a clear and compelling benefit for a design choice being proposed? Is it substantially better than some other choice being proposed? Do we see an absence of significant detriments? (Complexity, scaling, performance, reliability, etc.) Do we see a clear and substantial base of users/organizations for the choice NOW? Only then might we consider adding a guess about the size of the population from which this sample of adopting users/organization is taken. Debating whether my sample is bigger than yours is certain to be unproductive. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
