[ppml] Policy without consensus?

[Marshall Eubanks]

I would care more, at present at least, that the IPv6 routing table
actually get USED. At present, it is, what, 1% of the total ?

One thing we learned in multicast is not to worry about problems caused
by success until you actually have something like success.

Regards
Marshall
