Probably and sadly, they don't remember the Internet before NAT. I
think Brantley Colie has somewhat redeemed himself by inventing ATA over
Ethernet.

Also, sadly, even though I'm an strong IPv6 advocate, I think a period
of LSN/GCN is inevitable. There's now not enough time to properly
convert from IPv4 to IPv6, and, also sadly, Jon Postel isn't around
anymore to make subtle and veiled threats of loss of connectivity ..

Subject: Disabling NCPs

There has been some talk of "forcing" the move to TCP by various 
administrative and policy measures.  There was also a claim that
there was no technical way to force the abandonment of NCP.  It
should be pointed out that a quite simple modification to the IMP
program would enable the IMPs to filter out and discard all NCP
traffic.  As far as i know, there has been no decision to do this,
but you should be aware that it is technical feasible.
