Clearly it's time to bring out an old classic:
The OSI people are going through the classical "5 stages of
grief": Denial, Depression, Bargaining, Anger, and Acceptance.
For a long time, OSI persisted in Denying that IP/TCP had any
future. Then they got Depressed about their lack of market. Now
they are trying to Bargain with the IETF for some sort of reprieve
(and the OSI people are good at "process", if nothing else, so this
could go on for a while). After that fails, they will be Angry at
the IETF for not saving their market (as if that were the role of
the IETF). Finally, they will have to Accept a marginal role.
Let's see, trying to legislate the competition out of existence because your
own stuff is about as appealing as stale dog-food (and has the market uptake
of same); I wonder which stage that is?
