Killing old/slow groups - transition thinking

the problem with this is that everyone thinks the ietf needs to say
"no" more often.  but just as long as it is to someone else's work.

e.g., v6 transition, zeroconf, and jabber are a load and will be
more so.  do you, margaret, and marshall wanna talk about which we
should shed?  :-)

one of the lessons i have learned on the internet is distributing
the load is a major key to scaling and dealing with load.  i
suspect one possible approach to the serious problem of getting all
this work done is to push the problems of rigor and quality back to
the wgs so they produce product that requires less time to process.

and, as i am wondering about increasing the load on wgs, you may
get a hint as to why i keep asking marshall about his obsession
with milestones.  there may be a tradeoff here, and i am actually
trying to understand the space.
