Re: [STDS-802-11] Deprecation of IBSS, MBSS and/or PBSS (11me/D1.0 CIDs 1639, 1640 and 1641)

Hi Mark,

My opinion is against removing IBSS and MBSS. To me, it would be a lot of work to remove IBSS and MBSS. And once the work was done and published, we'd find people upset with us for doing the work.

11me/D1.0 CIDs 1639, 1640 and 1641 propose to mark IBSS, PBSS and MBSS

respectively as deprecated, on the basis that it is not clear anyone cares

about these modes of operation anymore, and that they are not being

maintained (or alternatively one could say the cost of maintaining

them is not worth it, or the expertise needed to maintain them is

lacking).

 

This thread is to solicit opinions on these proposals.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
