I agree that some of the rhetoric should be toned down (go out for a beer or something, guys ... I did). There is a difference between fiery debate with Lorenzo and a witch hunt, and some of this is starting to sound a bit personal. I shouldn't have worded things the way I did, I went for the cheap shot in one of those last notes and that isn't really constructive. I'm sorry. I think for many this thread represents years of frustration, though, and LC making the statements in the way he did made him a focal point for that frustration. The problem is there are many of us on the "front lines" trying to push for IPv6 adoption outside the bubble of idealism and when people of great influence like LC take positions like DHCPv6 isn't required it's like a slap in the face to all that effort. We really need to see Google and Android come on board with DHCPv6 support and I'm interested in how we can help make that happen.

No.
Given that Lorenzo was posting with absolute statements about Google's approach, and with what they would do in the future in response to hypothetical standards developments, these questions are completely valid.

please do not construe my words on this thread as being Google's

on anything. These messages were sent from my personal email address, and I do not speak for my employer. Can we construe your postings on the issue thread as being Google and/or Androids official position? They are posted by lorenzo@google.com with a tag of "Project Member", and I believe you also declined the request in the issue under that mantle.
Oh, stop this. The only thing this will accomplish is a giant black hole of silence from anybody at Google and any other $MEGACORP in a similar situation.
