[BA] The IETF has no enforcement authority, so that vendors have the
ability to ship products implementing IETF standards in whole or in part
- or not at all.
Agreed. The problem here is that it's an *IETF* working group
rubber-stamping what a vendor did. *That* is the problem.
May I ask what is the point of bothering publishing specs if they are
going to be violated at will *within the same organization that
published the specs*.
As noted by Jinmei here

, I believe not only are we just rubber-stamping stuff, but also I
believe that our processes are being circumvented.
Thanks,
