I don't see anything in my notes on Randy's presentation about "are pretty much useless and add considerable churn and complexity with little return from a practical attack surface perspective". The closest I see in my notes is "Doesn't gain anything against attack where an attacker could just do a withdraw".

My comment in the initial message:

"I think Randy successfully convinced me during his talk at the Quebec City WG session that "beacons" at a frequency of 24 hours (or anything in the "hours" range) are pretty much useless and add considerable churn and complexity with little return from a practical attack surface perspective.  "

I didn't quite Randy or his slides there, but I stand by my conclusions.
