btw, i seem to have been unclear.  i do not agree with this position, i
just meant to clarify it.  pushing it to some commmittee/wg is a sign of
a lack of will.

but sadly, i do not think the ietf has the guts and the vision to even
do what an organization such as the iacr, crypto assn which has long
experience with real politik etc. has done, see

    https://www.iacr.org/misc/us-immigration-ban.html

do not be the folk who sat in the planes which were driven into the
towers.  i would rather be with the folk on United 93.
