Do you think the WG could arrive at a consensus on exactly these points?

That is: multi6 could, if there was agreement,  document that the L4 
architecture
as it stands now is in the way of considering solutions which we do not 
at present
"know ... has inherent scalability problems".

I happen to favour such a recognition/admission of the problem.
Whether this would trigger useful reactions outside multi6 is a point 
which
interests me enormously.

I would seriously appreciate it if someone would volunteer himself or 
herself to the ADs
so that I am freer to address (apologies for the pun) many of the 
discussions here in
a much more me-like fashion.
