It's been 20 years today (Oct 16, UTC). Hard to believe.

I'm probably going to regret posting this but I think most of this
dispute regarding Jon Postel's advice revolves around how the words
"liberal" and "conservative" have changed over 20 years.
Liberal used to mean adaptable, open-minded, and conservative used to
mean cautious and hewing close to the rules (and I mean none of that
disparagingly.)
<IGNORE>
I won't begin to characterize how these words have changed but, um,
ach, phffft, AGHHH!...they didn't mean calling your personal
prostitute a "horseface" or arguing that point via the public
internet.
</IGNORE>
