Actually, I fully agree. However, the ietf will also be blamed for
every case where it's standards lead to results that are considered
to disregard (replace 'disregard' with stronger words if you want;
probably stronger words will be used by the people affected) culture
and customs. In this sense again, every design choice IS policy,
even if it might not look that way.

What we have to try to do is to find the best middle ground,
not to design only in one direction.
