what you appear to be trying to do is to increase the number of ways in which people can derail the process
And more power to him. IETF was a great success. It's reaching end-of-life.
people still seem to find its work useful, at least in some areas.
if you don't feel it's worth your time, you are free to spend your time elsewhere.
it's not that cut-and-dried. it can be very costly to users to let the market decide. sometimes the market doesn't decide, it just fragments.
So?
so "let the market decide" is a lousy rule. there's no justification for it. it's just the sort of thing that someone says when he fears competition from a better product.
