RE: [ifwp] Re: One Address Space at a Time...

Perhaps the next best step is, then backward.  While I have not poured over
the detail enough times yet for the flaws to be apparent (if they are
there), there is something rather elegant here.  For the time being, let's
forget from where the idea comes and focus on the idea.  By taking a step
back and examining the proposals, from the ground up, of IPv8 we can
formulate an appropriate approach to insure the proper technical support is
included.

My question is this:  Are the nay-sayers nay-saying IPv8 or nay-saying Jim
Fleming - two completely different issues.  What if we form an ad-hoc group
of non-Fleming-ites to take an objective approach.

I am willing to step up and participate in a re-examination, ground up.
Anyone else want to play?

I don't think the problem is as much understanding as it is lack of
credibility.  With people like Tim Gibson involved, who would want to
participate in becoming dependent on a system that has both an
unreliable infrastructure and inexperienced tech people associated with
it.  Not to detract from the project's goal.  I applaud Mr. Fleming, his
ideas and
this project, but in order for the Internet to adopt it, it requires a
flawless and stable infrastructure and credible tech support.
