i missed the rfc where the chair of the v6 wg said the ops did not
understand the h ratio because we did not understand logarithms.

So in order to have an opinion, I have to know all of the politics along with the documents produced. Got it. Thank goodness we didn't know that when we were implementing IPv4 in the mid 80's.

Frankly I had always regretted not going to an IETF meeting at ISI around 88 or so, but given the silliness of IETF politics maybe that was a blessing.
