My gripe is when an outside AD takes an

sooner rather than later for all parties concerned.
I agree with the earlier is better than later for comments from
anyone, AD or not.
A few interesting side cases on this. Some ADs (more than one
actually) recently suggested to a WG that something there were doing
was likely to result in in a DISCUSS when it reached the IESG. One of
the WG members appealed the IESG trying to manipulate WG consensus.
Sort of left me scratching my head on why the WG would not want to
know that early but evidently some folks don't.
There have been other working groups where it was very hard to make
an argument and get anyone to listen - lots of people just give up
and decide to send their comments in IETF LC or not at all. That's
really unfortunate but I understand that people have a limited time
to go argue about stuff that is not even their work.
