Re: So where have all these new 6man WG people come from?

+1 on this.  Also, hats off to Ole for explicitly acknowledging that 
this is a vendor proxy war.

As an independent operator of services, I find it disappointing and 
thoroughly distasteful to see representatives from otherwise reputable 
vendors engage in a protocol assassination attempt for what are very 
obviously political reasons.

This is abusive and damaging to the IETF,  to the development of useful 
building-block technologies, and serves to act directly against the 
interests of technology consumers.  It needs to stop.
