It is a good point.  We have made a lot of money thanks to SNMP, which
was crippled by lack of understanding of network management 
on the part of the Gang of Four and by Rose's incomprehension of ASN.1.  
Perhaps, I should not criticize IPv6.  Certainly, the gradualist approach
of merely introducing address extension options while volunteer
organizations work to specify, develop and test a two level hierarchical 
routing scheme involving L1 and L2 IP routers would mean far
less work for TTI.
