Although on a personal level I share your opinion, on a practical level it
is unrealistic. The temper of today's times mandates spending the
ridiculous amount of time being nice to time-wasters and other warm fuzzy
(and utterly non-productive) activities.
IETF is simply responding to a global trend. This is a symptom, not the
disease.
