Hi Andrew,
Whereas I agree with your arguments, I would like to point out that the
creation of an IETF mailing list may be interpreted as an endorsement of
the concept. (As it has already happened with the existence of an
Internet Draft about IPv10. Lay people did not recognized that it was an
individual draft not adopted by any IETF working groups.)
Therefore, I recommend the usage of an IETF independent mailing list,
which can be advertised (only once!) here, and those who are interested
may subscribe and continue the discussion over there. (E.g.
[email protected] could do.)
Best regards,
Gabor

My proposal is to quash it by giving it its own rock under which it
can be hidden. Right now, it is being allocated resources anyway: the
time and attention of everyone on this list who would like to pay
attention to less-absurd proposals than "reformat and reinstall the
Internet". There is no evidence that that proposal, which has now
been discussed for a long time and the disadvantages of which have
been amply demonstrated to everyone except the proposal's proponent,
is going to go away any time soon. Compared to the resources that are
currently being wasted on it, a list seems a small price to pay.
Best regards,
