I am highly unlikely to make this one, I'm afraid.

Sounds like you're voting against. I need to catch up on this one  
before I can take a view.

I'm satisfied this can be advanced to Draft, you may consider this a  
vote in advance.

I'm a bit confused as to why you'd not want to just use two distinct  
connections, and send stanzas between them as required. This method  
means that you're doubling the bandwidth consumption at minimum,  
which seems like the least optimal solution.

What's concerning me here is that there's yet another proposal for  
something to do invisibility and privacy lists. None of these have  
seen much traction in the community, yet we seem to produce a lot of  
them.

Before we go through with this proposal, I'd like to see someone  
clearly write down some requirements, and get general agreement on  
those first.

I think all of these might be considered for a "Last Call" to  
obsolete at this point. (I know we don't have to do a Last Call, but  
I think it'd be useful to forewarn the community and see if anyone  
screams.)

Last-Call-tastic from here.
