Why on earth is anyone whining about the processes behind making an Internet Change Request, aka RFC? I once spent around 18 months to two years getting a corporation to use DHCP properly (ie stop registering all devices MAC addresses for static leases) and I consider that a quick win. RFCs deal with the entire internets and should require quite a lot of oversight. Three and a half years for a BGP change is a breathtakingly fast change and frankly reckless!
