Dear all,
The isues discussed here is the use of unassigned values in IANA
registries. And I really agree with the authors of RFC5226 that
sets MUST criterion for mentioning these values. Not mentioning
them will lead to misunderstanding by IANA and other people whether
the values are available for assignment, reserved or not used et
al. So I think that there is just no need to discuss what is
clearly set by the document.
All the best,
Mykyta Yevstifeyev

Withholding registration just means that people are going to
pick an unregistered number with all the problems that that
entails. In cases where there are no scarcity issues
registration should happen as long as there is a reasonable
expectation of non-negligible use, regardless of whether the
registered protocol is endorsed by the IETF (whatever that
means) or IANA.

If people think that IANA is a tool they can use to impose
their own personal political agenda on the Internet, they are
mistaken.
Here we have a proposal to enforce a particular royalty free
agenda. Some Internet users might support such an agenda but
most don't even understand what the argument would be about.
It is very easy to accept the idea of someone imposing a
political agenda you agree with. But what if the agenda turned
out to be something else? What happens if the representation
from authoritarian leaning countries increases and there is a
group of people who agree on the need to fight 'information
terrorism' as defined in the SCO treaty.
All that is necessary to keep the Internet open is to prevent
any party from gaining control.
And the best way to prevent that is to ensure that there is
no control point.
