which is why i did not send email to the iab; i just wanted fair queue
management. _as a community_, we need to discuss what the goal(s) of
the network are. i am learning from the feedback; thanks all.
a few points which have not been mentioned
o there is a significant number of attendees who do not have much
configuration control over their laptop.
o there is a singificant number of attendees who need vpn access to
get work done.
o there are attendees with strange and old operating systems. some of
these folk wander to the help desk and the noc.
and a personal bias. in the ops part of my $dayjob (which is minimal; i
am supposed to do research), we try to provide what the customer wants,
not tell them to do things they do not want to do. ykmd.
