Furthermore, I am against any move to 1 maturity level because apparently there are one or two people with so much free time or posterity they actually bother moving PS to higher levels these days, and who are we to squash their hobby/passion/disorder?

I do not think it is "change for change's sake", but rather a change attempting to accommodate differing viewpoints of our present location and where we want to be. If it fails to change the status-quo of 1 level, that's *OK*, we can try again - the Internet won't collapse because of this document, and neither will the IETF. > > _______________________________________________ > Ietf mailing list > Ietf@xxxxxxxx > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf > _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
