https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/perpass/
that's a lot of drafts.

and yet perpass is still not a WG with formal process and charter? Odd, that.

Knee-jerk reactions are not good things.

But we have that threat analysis, and the recommended mitigation is precisely "encrypt everything." The "pervasive monitoring" threat is analyzed by a number of perpass drafts, and Stephen has merely followed the conclusions of that analysis. There is no need to repeat that analysis for each and every tool that the IETF produces, and there is indeed a need for the IETF as a whole to "lead by example."
