First of all the abuse-c (Abuse Contact) gives a better idea that it is a Contact about Abuse, than mnt-IRT will ever do. New members or people outside the abuse community should be able to understand it more easily.
Agreed. In fact it's something I can get quite vocal about at times - terms like IRT, CERT, CSIRT are only useful within our communities and do not make it easier for people to find the help they need from us.
Creating an abuse-c is much more easy than creating an IRT object
I can agree with that too.
And at the end, if all the IRT Object holders show up and say we do not need the irt object anymore as soon as we have an abuse-c in place, there would not be a reason to keep the irt any longer.
If this proposal was adopted then I can't see the IRT object being widely adopted outside of the TI community. I'm not saying that this is a good or a bad thing but readers of the proposal should be made aware of this. I think it needs to be mentioned in the proposal as an argument against it. That would at least acknowledge how you think this proposal will lessen the confusion of how to publish contact information and not simply add another choice into the confusion.
