alt Hacker NewsIt really isn't up to me. If enough developers find this to be an important issue then the first step would be to replace the RFC with a new one and then work with the existing web daemon developers to change their defaults. There should also be an effort to communicate these changes to all the internet companies world wide long in advance as this will be a breaking change for many people. Perhaps I am just jaded but I think this will break a lot of stuff and cause a lot of really bad maintenance windows and other fallout. Who among the developers is willing to take the lead on this? You appear to be very articulate and astute. Are you taking the lead?

If cxr takes the lead, I'll be happy to help too. I don't have much time but I can provide some support in this monumental struggle.

That's not what I asked. In one breath, you've said they need to take up that effort. In the next breath, you've said that it's a done deal. I'm asking: which is it?
Making up your mind (instead of perpetually moving the goalposts) is up to you.
