I think the above is inappropriate. There were and are valid technical
criticisms of what was the planned work. Some who initially supported
that planned work were convinced by those criticisms. That does include
me fwiw, but I'm far from alone. Secure group communication as was
envisaged by our charter just doesn't turn out to work. That's a pity,
but a reality.
