I think removing the cutoff is the right approach here.
I'd prefer that some date remain on the list of important meeting dates
to remind ourselves that revisions should be in in time for people to
read them.
If memory serves, the original purpose of the cutoff was to avoid overtaxing
the resources of the Secretariat in the period immediately prior to IETF
meetings. But it has also come in handy for ADs and others who feel the need
to keep up with large numbers of documents from a variety of working groups.
I wouldn't blame any AD or WG chair for imposing a "no drafts submitted after
the cutoff can be discussed at the meeting" rule.
