The known problem is it takes well over four years to get anything published. I am experiencing in one never-ending saga the logical conclusion of the logic: since Proposed Standard is the new Draft Standard, and since the IESG has to make sure any proposal is beyond bullet-proof, the industry has long since implemented draft-mumble-21, which has not changed for over a year, and few in industry cares if the document publishes as an RFC, because from their point of view, if something has been working in the field for three years, has 18 independent implementations, and has not yet crashed the Internet, it is probably ready, whether the IETF formally says so or not. That is the fast track to making the IETF irrelevant. The very real danger here is while that attitude may be OK for a small media application, that attitude could be a disaster in, for example, the routing area. Something really has to be done. Now, I do agree with Scott here there is absolutely no incentive for anyone to bring a protocol to Draft/Internet Standard level. What I *am* hoping is that with two, clearly defined maturity levels, we can go back to publishing Proposed Standards in about a year, and have Internet Standard mean something. Otherwise, we will be perpetually running the Internet on Internet Drafts, which is something I do not think anyone really can say is a good thing. On Oct 25, 2010, at 10:48 PM, Scott O.
