So maybe your concern would be addressed by some sort of "discuss
override" mechanism, by which the IESG could actively decide that a
discuss is inappropriate and disregard it. Such a mechanism would
have to be invoked explicitly, and would perhaps involve a consensus
call by the IESG chair...
I believe such a mechanism already exists. At least, we established
such a mechanism while I was on IESG.
