That’s the problem with the same old (and older and older) people showing up at the IETF every year: very little truly new work gets done. Just old graybeards layering patches over patches over patches on protocols we designed in our twenties.

Do it for the network operators who will have to keep doubling the size of the network after us crotchety old dudes are safely dead.
