Re: [DNA] Confirming consensus calls performed in the dna meeting @IETF 71

[I am not sure if I am sending a similar email twice - my previous email 
seems to have disappeared]

I am surprised to see that the group wants to discard all the effort 
that went in to developing the complete DNA solution - I understand that 
we don't see the need for a complex solution at this point in time -I 
support the decision to create a simple solution and not spend more 
effort on the complete DNA solution. But, totally discarding it seems 
like throwing the baby with the bath water to me (if not the baby, it is 
at least throwing baby toys with the bath water). I think with minimum 
effort we can publish the complete DNA solution as an Informational or 
as Experimental for future reference - assuming that this work will 
never be useful in the future seems extreme to me. I will be happy to do 
the work needed to see the document through.

So, I vote to publish the complete DNA solution as Informational or 
Experimental.
