So, each time in a Last Call, someone says "This document should not
be published", it is censorship? That's quite insulting for the
victims of real censorship.
I do not recall another case where the IETF got requests to not publish
documents in last call - most of the time there are constructive
comments pointing out technical issues that might get fixed before
publication.
I have seen requests to not publish or delay publishing RFCs that had
been submitted to a working group but were not chosen - those requesters
were worried about the potential for confusion with the working group
output - if memory serves, the RFC was published in almost all of tehse
cases - but after a delay so the working group version could get
published first in some cases.
