In the end a lot of this comes down to judgement calls, and these
guidelines help to set expectations for those calls. If someone
sends in a DISCUSS and gets back "Really?" from a couple of other ADs,
the judgement may rapidly swing the other way. I'd say the IESG is
trying quite hard these days to clear DISCUSS ballots quickly if
possible, and there are quite a few that vanish before or during the
telechat.
Also, by putting these guidelines into public view, we will hopefully
get community feedback on marginal DISCUSSes, since they are visible
in the tracker.
Given that IETF is poorly operated these days, guidelines or
interpretations by management entities on the guidelines must
be wrong.
So, there is no point arguing that the current guidelines and
the current interpretations on them are good enough.
Either (or both) the guidelines defined by the current process
or the management entities chosen through the current process
are wrong.
