As Peter moves forward with the BIS version of the RFC's, I'm wondering
if we should finally punt on dialback. The reason it's been kept around
so long is that self-signed certs aren't sufficient security, and adding
in the DNS layer helps out with that.
Now that we've got a CA, and certs are practical for all, this reason
doesn't hold as much weight as it used to.
Anyone other than me in favor of seeing dialback die off in 2007?
