I think we understand the RFC publishing issues fairly well -- well
enough to deal with the RFC publication process.  It would be strange if
we didn't!  Now, maybe we need to move into the 21st century of
publishing, but maybe not, and at any rate, we should evolve our
publication process rather than revolutionize it.  I.e., to me it sounds
like much ado about not much, which isn't to say that we didn't have a
spectacular failure a year ago, but it wasn't a failure to understand
the world of publication.
