Good for you. And the people that *need* a working server as in "it forks for *me*" will move on and ignore you. That's your choice. It's the choice Debian is making now. But if care about the real world you will see that the philosophy of most software isn't "I'm right have-a-nice-day" but let's have "something that works". Check the kernel. Check IMAP servers (that's why I was choosing this example), check well whatever, many things try to cooperate with broken stuff. > Anyone using such broken software should do the right thing, which is one of: > > a) get a different IMAP client If you have the choice.

There are a *lot* of places that are not reachable. "Everyone else" doesn't reflect any reality. But the question is if it's worth it for Debian to keep this anal "I am right" position, just because of a flag, whose existence aparently doesn't hurt people who're runing 2.2.x, which is *by default* disabled upstream (take a second and ask yourself, why could this be?). What's certain is, that it's going to hurt a lot of people.

If they don't do so, they're violating RFC 793. Well possibly you can just send a site that doesn't support ECN to where the light don't shine. But if *your* (as in your universities, your lan's, your workplace, your client's etc.) router is broken then what? Then you can not ignore it. But they can ignore *you*!
