fwiw, i do not consider the irs to represent the operational community,
though they claim very loudly to do so. they have coopted the space,
but, imiho, represent the interests of self-perpetuating organizational
fiefdoms far more than operators. itu-t wannabes.

at russ's request (i did warn him of the poolpah), i tried to start a
2870 (dns root ops) bis with only one sentence added.
2.7 Root servers SHOULD fully support queries and make corresponding
responses with either IPv4 or IPv6.
the root ops private fiefdom rose up in objetion and non-cooperation
which has become their hallmark.
fighting fiefdoms is a waste of time. the answer is to shut them the
hell down.
