I wasn't there at actual meetings at the time but I find the notion that operators were ignored pretty preposterous too. There was a significant amount of bleed over between the two as I recall from going to Interop's. What incentive do vendors have to ignore their customers? Vendors have incentive to listen to customer requirements and abstract them to take into account things can't see on the outside, but to actually give the finger to them? And given how small the internet community was back while this was happening, I find it even more unlikely.8+8 came *MUCH* later than that, and really wasn't ready for prime time. The reason we know that is that work was the basis of LISP and ILNP. Yes, standing on the shoulders of giants. And there certainly were poor design decisions in IPv6, bundling IPsec being one. But the idea that operators were ignored? Feh.
But Randy still hasn't told us what would have worked and why it would have succeeded.
