no, of course not.

i think you changed the definition of the words "we" and "us" midsentence.

i don't think all of the people i intend to address here have heard my 
views. they may think that dns-oarc speaks for the community rather than 
for a small self selected team. they may also think that i as co-founder 
of dns-oarc can be relied upon to support this activity. so, thank you 
for your concern for my reputation (or my sanity, if that's also true), 
but i'll continue. if you wish to actually respond to any of my claims, 
i am listening. if you wish to continue to ignore those claims, i will cope.

this isn't a flag day and shouldn't be called that. it cheapens the term.

1232 is a cargo-cult number. we must not revere as holy those things 
which fall out of the sky.

there is a right way to deprecate fragmentation. it would not involve 
adding config complexity.

there is a right way to reach consensus. it's an RFC draft, not a github 
repo for the initiated.

in the testing referenced by the "flagday2020" web page, there was no 
significant difference in loss between 1200 and 1400. there will be a 
significant difference in truncation and tcp retry.
