Err, no.
We're talking about a group that chose to squat on an existing =

existing assignment had asserted intellectual property rights.
As far as i can tell, it wasn't that the IETF would not grant CARP =

either Standards Action or IESG Consensus. Did the OpenBSD developers =

However, assume that the OpenBSD developers did document their protocol =
and requested an IESG action and was refused. Do you believe that would =
justify squatting on an already assigned number?
