Subject: What real users want most

Brian,

I certainly do not presume to dismiss this information, nor paternally
pronounce on what they "really" want.  I do have a question, though.
How did the discussion go after that point.  Was the gist of their
desire "keep all the good stuff of IPv4 and *ADD* security"?  Do they
want security with tradeoffs in other areas, if necessary?

Or do they want it all? :^)

Just curious.
