The legacy network will have a different SSID. All laptops remember which SSIDs you have connected to successfully in the past. Thus, it is likely that if you encounter problems and have to switch to the example-ssid-legacy SSID, and you close your laptop to move to a new room and open it again, you'll be put back onto the ietf SSID.

This is a good point.   Arguably, we should use a different SSID every IETF.   E.g., ietf-100 instead of ietf.   We're already proposing to do that for ietf-legacy so that people don't automatically associate with that ssid.

So if ietf goes away in favor of ietf-100, and ietf-hotel becomes ietf-100-hotel (or something like that), then would that address your objection?
