Contrary to popular belief, the IETF listens to operators and wants them to participate. Few do. For instance, I don't seem to remember your name from any IETF mailinglists. (I could be mistaken, though.)
Regardless of the stated opinion of the IETF and its participants, there is a culture in the IETF of resistance to operational opinion. The DHCPv6 vs RA debacle is a direct consequence of this and a good example of both the problem and the serious consequences which ensue when one side doesn't listen.
