you heard it from me:

The right way to deal with ADs that are markedly at odds with IETF 
consensus is to correct them, reeducate them or fire them.

Not building baroque structures of multiple incompatible control functions 
in order to minimize the damage they can do.

Nit: I never used the word "rigid". That was not an accident.
