and it works, i am embarrassed to say.  and one hears about outages on
the ops lists before one sees the automatic outage detector reports.
sitting across the hudson, i heard of the wtc attack on nanog almost two
minutes before it came on television.

these half-assed "the market demands something" panaceas provide false
solutions we have to clean up later; emphasis on that last clause.
rwhois anyone?  the highway is littered with whitepages roadkill.  today
there is a massive problem with authority in the IRR (which some RIRs
throw in with whois); and retrofitting a solution is now years in blah
blah blah.

no one is asking for the perfect over the good.  but it is our
obligation, before putting the ietf stamp on it, for it to be as good as
we can reasonably get for the time.  this proposal is not, as has been
enumerated time and again as it has been shoved through the process over
objections.

imiho, tero's review stands.
