why, under $DIETIES green earth would you want to push a dead
technology? The IESG is dead-set against this.
because the IESG has turned over N times during those 8 years, and the idea
is still solid and useful and interesting, and the current proposed RFC is
experimental, and most importantly, because the need for it will continue to
resurface until we push it over the top of the hill and roll it down to the
town.
The problem was, AFAIR, that allocating opcodes requires a Standards
Action. No experimental spec can do that. If DISCOVER is to be
revived it will need to use one of other publication processes.
