What I was thinking is that maybe we should start by raising awareness. 
I'm not saying that the backbones would all jump to fix this if they 
knew about it. But if they don't know about it, they certainly won't do 
anything about it.

I'm going to EPF in Madrid and I could give a short presentation about 
it there, for example.
