That's why I said a few, rather than none.
Compared with the "population" of those active in this discussion, those
with serious history or heavy current involvement in development or
operations is tiny.
For most of those active, this is merely a nice theoretical exercise, or
political opportunity, or...
They do not have any experience in the Internet's style of decision making
and they do not suffer from the delays they are causing.
