While I certainly recognize the value in bringing new people in (of any 
age) and also realize the value in training new generations of Internet 
protocol engineers, I strongly object to favoring people because of 
their age or lack thereof.   I certainly don't think it should happen on 
a per group basis.   Age discrimination is as evil as any other form of 
discrimination.
