Well… Maybe… I’ve watched policies become less controversial and more trivial over time.
The reality is that most of what the AC is working on today doesn’t really represent any
significant or major shifts in address policy. The policy regime has become rather stable
and most people are no longer upset about $pet_need not being met any more.

When PPML was at its most active, the community was also at its most divided and
there was significant discontent and rancor. That seems to be less today and I think
that most of the change is more people moving from passionate to “meh” towards
the current policy situation.
