RE: iSCSI: version number

["Sankar, Ranga" <Ranga.Sankar@netapp.com>]

The RFC to be, still has not decided to go with version 1.
Also i believe that the IETF does not have a rule that requires 
the version to start with 1 after ratification. It is left
to the working group to decide on the version number.

Having gone thru the Interoperability issues in  the Plugfests,
i feel we should not change the version without a strong reason.

Those who are locked into version 0 will have issues with those who are
properly reporting and following the RFC, to be.  Those who chose not to
support dynamic loading of the version as a config option, fell short of
seeing the history here in IPS-Refecltor.  Those who are capable of
adjusting this reporting will be capable of forward and backwards
compatability.

Also, what is IETF rules for version numbers and the requirements imposed
upon formal ratification?

If those rules require a version number > 0, then there is no choice but
to follow and comply with the rules according to the supervisory body that
initiated the original ad-hoc and transformed to a formal WG.

Just my nickle of noise.
