The way I've heard it, such a review did take place without the desired results. Managers sometimes need to make decisions even without complete knowledge. And in such cases that decision can seem to be based on a hunch or rolling the die. It's better than this decision not to decide, because it shifts the burden to developers. _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list IPsec@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
