I think you're going to need substantially more explanation (and
perhaps some data) to make a convincing case that RFC 6686 needs to be
reconsidered, thereby affecting this last call. The above states a
conclusion, but provides no data or explanation. I don't know how to
evaluation this.
Of course, I meant, "I don't know how to *evaluate* this."
I do not recall anyone (else) showing support for that view, but certainly not any substantial constituency.
Moreover:
What is the premise for seven years being "not long enough"? And what does constitute "long enough"? And upon what is that last answer based?
It would be wonderful if the boundaries for this test were written down somewhere, so that we would've had that information when we did the research for RFC6686.
