Speaking as someone who just got burned by exactly such a list, I think I need to agree with John: I don't object to the IETF publishing an informational document on this, but a PS implies that IETF endorses the practice, which I don't think we should do. I appreciate that there is a fine distinction here, but it seems to me that it's precisely for cases like this where the distinction is appropriate. -Ekr _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
