The current status, state and beginning date of that example
makes my point.
After 7 months of delay, caused by the IESG, ESRO was published
as an RFC in Sept. 1997.
History note:
ESRO (RFC 2188) was delayed, as far as I remember, because of lack of
response from the authors to IESG comments; this turned out to be because
the author either didn't get them or didn't think/understand that a
response was needed.
I remember some apologies at the time, and the document was published
without making the changes that the comments (some mine) had asked for.
ESRO was published without significant input from the IETF community, and
has some aspects that I consider rather stupid (tied to a single UDP port
number (4.6.3), use of a THREE-bit transport selector (4.4.1) and total
lack of discussion of congestion control), but did not face significant
opposition in the IESG.
It's EMSD (RFC 2524) that was considered by the IESG to be bad enough that
it was labelled with an IESG warning containing sentences like "makes EMSD
completely unsuitable for end-to-end use across the public Internet", and
seemingly earned the IESG the permanent enmity of Mohsen Banan.
