As a meta-observation I trust this sort of exchange is not
going to typify the new ION group? If Masataka (or others)
can't criticise one NBMA technology without someone jumping in
with an "but its in the charter of the group, so there." type
response then I think we'll be wasting a hell of a lot of time.

I understood the group merger to assist in sharing IP-over-X
technologies where it makes sense, not to force us all to
like every NBMA technology out there.
