Rough consensus = stiffling dissent. And what's running code got to do with
it? This is just some IETF hocus-pocus. What's the point of quoting from a
bunch that's working furiously to write a contract for protocol publication
with the IANA? Those people haven't got a clue, to borrow one of their own
expressions.

Well, it isn't, since it's made by the same creatures who made everything
else - human beings - with all our weaknesses and fallacies. The refusal of
the IETF to recognize reality is thrusting them into the dustbin.
