I don't think this follows. Personally, I don't want to participate in
the group working on 2617 until it's clear that it isn't yet another
list full of bombast about "trust", "identity", "federation", and a
bunch of other jargon that never amounts to anything technically
feasible. I don't think there is a good economic argument for bringing
that noise over here, where I definitely do want to participate.
