I think your description of the situation is not correct. IIRC there is no single technical issue which is regarded as a problem about which it is unclear whether it can be solved. The dispute is mainly about the interpretation whether is makes sense to offer such a feature given the amount of addresses that cannot be protected: This would only work for addresses which cannot be found by enumeration. Such addresses are not "nice". mailinglis...@hauke-laging.de need not be protected that way. This feature would require something like mailinglisten--noenum-yvsyi...@hauke-laging.de against spammers, mailinglisten--noenum-zttgfznhu3rnkfyaxjuym...@hauke-laging.de against real threats (government agencies in e.g. China). The technical questions would have to be answered but could be rather easily. But why write specs if noone is willing to implement it, why write code if it would not be accpeted, why point at IETF though the other way round is expected there? You may be right in that it makes little sense to endlessly repeat something. But is it a serious difference whether this refers to an unsolved technical problem or to an opinion.
