I agree with some of this, but I wonder...<p>&gt; It drives me insane to see papers that claim that some problem is &quot;unsolved&quot; when most of the industry players have already solved it, but they didn&#x27;t happen to write an NSDI or SIGCOMM paper about it.<p>I&#x27;ve seen many examples of industry &quot;solutions&quot; that aren&#x27;t documented, aren&#x27;t published, and aren&#x27;t even validated. There&#x27;s a place for papers like these. I&#x27;m not quite your typical CS researcher (I do applied math and software for medical imaging), so YMMV, but I think this criticism is too harsh.
