To whatever small degree it matters, I agree with Brian on this.
There have been many clear statements indicating that the writer believes
that the policy in force for the allocation of these code points is
wrong. The policy may be right, and it may be wrong. But that is not the
point.
But the policy as written in the RFC requires that the IESG review the
proposal. Such a review clearly implies technical review, not just a check
for document completeness. The IESG did what the RFC tells them to do.

John, I'm probably replying out of sequence, and I'll say this once

I don't believe that the IESG is entitled, under the BCP in force,
to authorise the IANA to assign a hop by hop option number to
a usage that we believe clearly needs IETF technical review.
So we don't go to question 2 until we've dealt with question 1.
