On the subject of arms race, yes, indeed.
And other solutions would be more acceptable.

In the meantime, I think the IAB workshop will be very open to the cost/benefit
analysis. Cheap to implement things that skew the arms race are interesting
(although one might argue the money available to counter them is limitless). 

In view of this there is a stake in the ground at

Opinions are welcome.

While cynicism is to be welcomed, and without speaking for a vendor, obviously
increased business is welcomed by vendors. But it is far from clear that this
situation represents a benefit for vendors as there are far more obviously
revenue-bearing features to be worked on. I am not sure that the vendors have an
infinite amount of development resource available to them.
