With regard to shutting down - I think that policy is doing an incredible
disservice to the internet, to both developers and users of protocols.

The IETF needs the concept of permanent working groups and a bunch of
protocols need them.

The way it works right now is, a group forms around standardizing a
protocol, the RFCs are done and the group disbands. Just like that, an
entire community that formed around that protocol disappears. When people
want to introduce extensions, there's no longer anywhere to turn to. So
development of extensions happens haphazardly, without discussion, without
feedback, without coordination.

I think this policy (of shutting down WGs) is braindead, personally.
Working groups should shut down only for things that are actually dead. Not
when there's a temporary hiatus before the next version.
