maybe I'm misled but I've never thought of the registries as bodies
whose purpose was to collect operational experience.

but yes, I'd very much like for IETF to have more input from those
involved in operation, as well as having more input from more
applications developers, as well as having more input from those who
understand architecture, as well as having more input from actual users
or user groups.  we need all of those kinds of input.
