True to some degree. In my imagination this "walled garden" would be
less of a garden, but more of a "trusted world", i.e. much bigger and
having systems in place to regulate when somebody misbehaves.

In a way you could compare it to law/law enforcement, however steered
decentralised without a central authority who decides what is good.

I know where you are coming from, and I claim for the moment your
argument is "free exchange of communication". My argument in that case
would be that if people abuse the system such as it is done by spammers
at the moment, it is not a free exchange anymore, but puts a lot of
burden on operators to keep up with the bad guys.

You got a point there, there would be a barrier between classic email
and "secure email" (or whatever term comes to one's mind).

Actually a bit similar as the split between the IPv6 and IPv4 world -
hence my argument for going IPv6 only might be even more valid.

Thanks for your input, appreciated!

BR,
