I don’t think it is the language we use in our documents or the language we use in our discussions that is the cause of the IETF becoming obsolescent or irrelevant. It is our inability to set aside our technical religion and continually reexamine the fundamentals, together with the imbalance in power and money between the service providers and the OTT providers which leads to lack of investment that has set us on that path.
This seems like the arguments that it's not CO2 that's causing climate change, it's natural cycles or whatever. Like, that may be true, but the CO2 / toxicity certainly isn't *helping* the situation.
