But be fair: they are doing an IETF Last Call BEFORE they decide on the

Is that not how you try to determine consensus within the whole IETF?
That's a necessary, but not a sufficient, action.
One can solicit community comment, as a general effort to get additional input.
This is quite different from soliciting a demonstration of community
consensus. The latter explicitly declares that the real authority for the
decision lies with the community. The former leaves it with the group that
issued the call.
