Perhaps 90% of the people on the Internet use Windows. Are you suggesting
we  should force everyone to use Windows just because 90% of the people on
the Internet do so? 

The proposal(s) break(s) e-mail in fundamental and worrying ways, and make
the probability of e-mail delivery in adverse conditions much lower (think
backhoe incident on main internet connectivity, trigging the use of dialup
for backup connectivity, and nobody remembering to add that netblock to the
good, allowed ones).

Us moderately and above clued people should not destroy the "survive-all"
capabilities of the Internet. There are others doing that much better. 

This is a bad suggestion, and it needs to be stopped.
