Just for the record, if the norm ends up being "Idea --> BoF-1 --> BoF-2
--> SG --> WG," I would be very disappointed and would chalk that up
under the law of unintended consequences :). I am hoping that "Idea -->
SG --> WG" or "Idea --> BoF1 --> SG --> WG" in that order become the
norm (where SG is involved of course), especially when proponents of new
work are people who may not be regulars at the IETF.

In the notation of Lakshminath's
recent chart, we have moved from "Idea --> WG" being
the normal case, to "Idea --> BoF-1 --> BoF-2 --> WG"
being the normal case, to some risk of making "Idea -->
BoF-1 --> BoF-2 --> SG --> WG" normal. Under some
circumstances, that would be a year well spent. Under
others, it is just another year wasted in exploration,
extended problem description, and procedures when the
goal should be to do technical work and get useful
results out (and to cut unfocused ideas and ideas with
insufficient support out of the system with as little
wasted time and energy as possible).
