Seeing randomly selected drafts as a Gen-ART reviewer, I can

sometimes survive IETF Last Call review, so the final review
by the IESG does serve a purpose.

I'm not saying it doesn't serve a purpose. I'm saying that I know of drafts 
that have been nearly rewritten during such back-and-forth, so what popped 
out was largely unrelated to what went in. In such cases, I think the 
document should have been returned to the working group with comments, not 
worked on privately.

I agree. That should be standard operating procedure.
