Re: [spring] Spirit and Letter of the Law - non-technical side note

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

This is a non-technical side note about the Spirit and Letter of the Law
in IPv6 WG.

In these discussions about IPv6 like routing header, insertion,
mutability, 64bit, limited domains, multihoming, smart end dumb network,
and numerous other 'tussles', one is supposed to take a side among one
of those two:

- maintain rock solid principles, continue the tradition, keep it up
working as it was designed to and that demonstrated its validity on very
large scale.

- break away from tradition, foster innovation, things will work anyways
because humans engineer them and market regulates them.

Only deep convictions about one of those two sides can make IPv6
deployment and development progress.

On my side, I cant make have such deep convictions.
