Correct - what is already out there is most going to stay out there - and there 
is nothing we can do about that (writing a you-must-not-do-that-RFC won't 
help). But, if we can provide a more simple way of doing things we will 
hopefully then see more and more deployments using it.

Finally someone who agrees with me that there is a real world outside our 
Hilton meeting rooms :)

If the outcome of such bar BOF is simply going to be a 
we-need-to-go-out-and-make-people-understand-that-they-have-to-implement-RFC-xxx
 type of statement it's not going to be very useful.
