[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Reputation systems are not just nice to have (was Re: What we want redux)

Ultimately, it is the choice of the users of such services whether they 
want to break their internet. If they chose to limit their own access to 
what their reputation provider (rightly or mistakenly) tells them to be 
safe, they will have to live with the results. And if that means losing 
business because important emails do not reach them, that is part of 
their choice.

Best,

Volker
