Really? According to the IETF home page, the IETF ML is for general
discussion. It says:

	The IETF discussion list is open, and therefore has a wide
	range of topics. However, be advised that employment
	opportunities and advertsing fall well outside the range of
	acceptable topics.

It is an irony that I was told by some that technical discussion
should be performed in MLs of individual WGs, even though the topic
(multicast architecture) was related to several WGs and areas.

So, I'm glad to know that you think engineering discussion is welcome
on the IETF ML.

Moreover, I don't mind if the scope of the IETF ML is narrowed, as
long as there is some ML to discuss the operation of IETF itself.

But, until that time, it is difficult to say some non-advertising
topics are inappropriate.

Finally, I think IPv6 issues can better be discussed in individual WGs.
