michel - the plain fact is that the contents of rms' posting, specifically the last paragraph, is directly contrary to the admonition, repeatedly given by the co-chairs, with respect to the content of messages sent to the list.

he has been given a warning. if he continues to misbehave, then the chairs will invoke bcp83 and ask the iesg to ban him from the mailing list.

there is an expression in western society that goes like this "rule of law, not rule of men". the rules apply equally to everyone, and so i simply don't care who we're talking about. if some-other-important-person sends a similarly offending message, then he too will get a warning, and if he does it a second time, he too will get at bcp83 timeout.

if you feel this unfair, unappreciative or otherwise unhelpful then i suggest you straight to the iesg right now.

andrew and i have been tasked to chair this working group according to the charter approved by the iesg and consistent with the ietf process. one of the more distasteful aspects of that is having to remind people of the admonition cited earlier.
