I'm sure that most of the list members here are aware of how net 
neutrality and the internet in general works - we're internet operators 
after all. What we're here for is ports and protocols, not policy or 
internet culture. On that subject, we are not policy makers. Let's leave 
that to politicians who studied for it. Vote some technical people in 
government while we're at it, but I digress.

The DoT/DoH argument or what a mail server could be operated from is not 
one of policy.. well maybe mail servers are, to some extent. Perhaps 
there's some ISP employees here too. Those are in power to allow or 
disallow things on their network. But DoT/DoH certainly isn't. What are 
we supposed to worry about? How do we implement this new encrypted DNS. 
Do we piggyback off an existing port and rely on its ubiquitous 
allowance on the internet or do we create a new port for it, where we 
can make a dedicated new protocol suite?
