Just s/Only/Optionally/

Which is, I believe, what a lot of people, including me, will do anyway.

There are various WGs I consider to be working on problems that don’t need solutions, or technologies that are dead ends. I generally think it’s antisocial and counterproductive to show up at their meetings and tell them so. It’s no skin off me if they choose to spend their time in a way I consider unwise, and besides, they might be right and I might be wrong (it happens with some frequency). As far as I’m concerned, the BoF phase is when naysaying has real value; after that, it’s a waste of your time and the WG’s, and it’s just rude.

As we know, “naming things” is one of the two hard problems of computer science (along with cache invalidation and off-by-one errors), so I don’t mean to criticize past decisions. But now that the bug has been demonstrated in the field, it’s time for a rename. Even if the name isn’t cute.
