so tell me, marshall.  if it is as you contend, that less attention
is paid to meeting wg milestones (note that i am unsure of your
hypothesis), other than the obvious iesg stupidity, ill intent,
lack of management skill, and black helicopters :-), why might this
be?  i.e., are there other forces at work such as
  o the ietf, like the rest of the world, has changed, scaling
    issues, etc.	
  o there seems to be less pay-off in beating on milestone dates
  o there are more difficult/important problems in wg management
  o ...

i mean the question seriously.  if indeed wg milestones are being
given less attention than they were in the past, what might be the
reasons, which are bad and which beneficial, and what might we
learn from it?
