This is insanity. Whatever happened to working group discussion and 
consensus?

Over a year ago we had a draft that went through IETF last-call, and we 
were now supposed to be now addressing *ONLY* IESG issues before final 
RFC publication.

Now we're back to making random changes on whim?

We're supposed to have a *very* high barrier to any further change, 
requiring overwhelming WG consensus.
