Not sure that I'm reading this correctly, but "managed network" was a euphemism for Deep packet inspection used as a censoring tool (by government-controlled ISPs) some years ago. This reads a bit like the IETF had to unanimously yield, not to "But who will think of the children" arguments of the time, but the spying threat; it makes Snowden revelation an interesting linchpin in making surveillance acceptable, as a weapon against surveillance.
