Re: [Sidrops] I-D Action: draft-ietf-sidrops-https-tal-05.txt

[George Michaelson <[e-mail]>]

We need to deploy processes for TAL and repository fetch and
synchronisation which can move to CDN. As it stands, the design of the
repository fetch systems is heading to single points of failure
because Rsync is a very poor fit for anycast distribution (no
commercial entities I know of are offering it as a service, where all
of them offer HTTP(S) as a matter of course)

Please can we close on this draft, because its the simple, obvious
change to permit the TAL to be formally distributed by scaleable
mechanisms, and helps point a way out of what I feel is a major
operational design flaw.

The comments section has potential for people who are trapped behind
legal disclaimer issues. I understand some of you feel paying
attention to this is wrong, but it does not (to my mind) directly harm
the overall intend of the proposal to adopt HTTP(S) as a
carrier/transport to the data.

(speaking as a co-author)
