Andrew, Thankyou for spending time on this. On 2010-03-12 06:16, Andrew Sullivan wrote: ... > It is instead an appeal that the documents were not published with > disclaimers attached. Interesting. Since we're being legalistic, all IETF documents carry the standard disclaimer (by reference in recent RFCs) which says, among other things: ... DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY THAT THE USE OF THE INFORMATION THEREIN WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY RIGHTS OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. That seems to cover most angles. I can't see why the IESG could be expected to add technical disclaimers to a consensus document. In fact, doing so would probably be a process violation in itself.
