Hi Everyone,
TACACS+ draft had undergone a number of changes since revision -06 back in the
February 2017 and we, the "collective of authors" have been less than
satisfactory on keeping the WG updated. This is an attempt to start fixing the
problem by going through changes, enumerating them and explaining the reason
for each significant change.
A year's worth of changes is a round number and -06 was also the version where
we misread Alan's intention and made the mistake of including his text verbatim.
I will skip the minor changes that deal with things like
's/Connect/Connection/' or updates to author's contact details. I will also be
sending the overview over multiple e-mails, each dealing with a specific
section of the draft, so nobody will have to read through a single huge tome if
you only care or wonder about specific parts of the draft. I understand this is
far from ideal, but the damage had been done and this split into smaller and
more manageable chunks should go a long way towards getting changes reviewed
and understood, one by one.
I do not wish to ignore the metaphorical elephant in the room. However, I wish
to split technical and organizational conversations into their separate threads
to avoid confusing the two. While I'll be describing changes in the "technical"
conversation, I and the rest of the authors will continue listening and
responding to Alan's organizational criticism, past and future, in what we
believe is the most constructive way: improving in the areas where we were
found wanting.
Andrej Ota.
