It's well known that the IETF is no longer the primary source of

open document series. Unfortunately, the claim is a lie.

Even if the above is true, it's like saying that the only respectable
activity left for Scientific American, Science, and the hundreds of
professional journals in all disciplines is "to report what others
have done". Duh.
What's your point, besides the obvious point of you being a totalitarian
frustrated with consensus-building ???
