I think this discussion will never end. There are 2 opinions (or maybe more) 
and everyone sticks to their own. Anyway, as a community, we managed to think 
of a specification which covers the needs of both camps. If you don't need 
roles, only allow the reseller role. I think that's the beauty of the solution.

Regarding storing more data. Maybe, yes, there are rumours that registries will 
become more and more thin, but this can take a long time (or never happen) and 
meanwhile, there are specific business needs to fulfil.

I just know about one GDPR drama, and I don't know whether it is a drama 
because of GDPR or the approach. But besides that, yes, we need to take into 
account policies and regulations. Therefor we need to think very careful when 
writing specs, but it should not hold us back of writing them. I think in this 
particular case, we did a pretty good job.

I agree with you, do not write specs just to have your name on an RFC. But 
again, as discussed in another conversation, it is very difficult, if not 
impossible to judge on the real needs of the community if there is very low 
participation (which is the main issue). Hence the importance of discussion 
groups like techops and others which are a valuable input for this group
