Come on, people! WHo tells you there will be IP 10 years from
now? How about 5 years? Maybe we all will go ATM?
Let's get back to the point of getting secure IP, and not
on CPUs available after 10 years, but TODAY. Should I
spell it, now? (:-)
As a hint: I do suspect any standard we happen to agree upon
will be absolutely useless after 10 years. [Of course unless
we keep going the current pace, - then 10 years sounds quite
reasonable milestone :-]
