Even if that was the original focus, I don't think it is relevant any  
longer.
I've been around IETF for 15 years and that has never been IETF's  
focus within that time.
That doesn't mean the organization is nearing end-of-life, it means  
that as the Internet has changed, so has IETF.

The IETF never has tried to be the government of all protocols.
