    Finally, the routing is exclusively static and RIP.  Any plan that
    assumes OSPF or ISIS will fail in the near term.
    ...
    As it was phrased at IETF-DC, if the network collapse was
    imminent, would you be willing to wait 6 months, or 2-5 years for the
    implementation and deployment of each proposal?

I seriously doubt we can operate worldnet with static routing and RIP as
our routing technologies. If this is really a goal, I guess I'd like to
know so I can retire from networking now....
