because we understand how they work formally from considerable
experience with PKIs.  they are deployed and working today.

the wg is considering an other validation process.  it is still a bit
wobbly, and the need for it is poorly motivated.  if you remember, i
advocated looking at this as a work item, and came up with the one
rather subtle motivation for it.

the rest of the motivations seem to involve transfer, which has never
been defined or formalized, so can be molded to whatever excuse anybody
needs this week.  when the rirs are willing to help define transfer, we
can look at this from an engineering view, as opposed to emotional and
fud.

to paraphrase, C’mon Andy. You're better than this.
