Concur.   There's also an obvious disconnect here between network engineers
who care about operating in as close to "correctly" (whatever that means
at the moment, and of course we've debated that for decades) as they can

they can as fast as they can by selling off the privacy of Internet
users to the parasites in the data broker ecosystem.
