Agreed. What's not clear to me though, is whether and how the
IETF could help with such efforts. (Same for Tor related work.)
If there are specific things the IETF could do to help make
those kinds of things better then that'd be very interesting to
know about.

If there are folks on here who're working on those technologies
who figure that the IETF could help, then having 'em say how
they think we could help would be great. I'd love to see a
bunch of threads like that on this list.
