Not that I am not sympathetic to what GNU and FSF is campaigning for,
the working principle of IETF is based on running codes and rough
consensus. "Votes" or "Petitions" is not part of IETF process the
last time I check.
I am not familiar with draft-housley-tls-authz-extns but if the only
objections is that there are patents surrounding it, I don't see any
harm proceeding it as an Experimental RFC.
If there are other valid reasons to stop the publication of the draft,
we should review it.
It is also important to note how many objected to the publication. I
suggest the moderator (if there is one) to held up all petition
furthers and just post a summary of how many petitions received at the
end.

I concur - and I think this is the action we should take, no matter how many
emails we see from people we've never heard from before (and probably never
will again).
