Process-wise, this isn't right, IMO (which is where I suspect John is
coming from). Process-wise, the thing to do is respond to the RFC
editor with one of response 4 or 5 in Section 3 of RFC 3932 (e.g.,

The decision of whether something is an "end run" should be relatively
fast. One can always air on the conservative side if in doubt and say
"looks like end run", while getting more detailed reviews.

If in doubt, it's more productive say "MIGHT be an end run" and ask for
more time. Throwing tar isn't a substitute for hesitating before throwing.
