Disagree totally. If IDN can't be deployed due to lack of
deployed CPU resources, then its game over for all of us
(a very very bad situation).

I want to be able to deploy IDN (quite literally) as soon as
possible after the IETF standardises a specification. Each
proposal needs therefore to be considered in the context of
currently available resources.

Glad you now agree.
