From the Shepherd write-up:
(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd
has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the
IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable
with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really
is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and
has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those
concerns here.
<Shepherd>
In the OPSEC WG people have stated that eventhough they do not like the LLA
approach, that here is value and support in publication of the advantages and
disadvantages, because proper addressing is a key network architecture
question. As Shepherd I see a need for documenting this in an IETF document as
it is a question when architecting a Network.

If there's weak IETF consensus (with some strong objections) to a
document that comes from a WG and has strong consensus inside the WG,
Restoring subject line, as my comment is more specific to the draft, not
generally about “saying no”, but the comment made me wonder about the level of
consensus.
I’ll let the chairs speak for themselves as to how they made the determination
that it was acceptable to proceed, and similarly at WG adoption call, but in
looking back at the OpSec list archives to write this message, I don’t view
this as having particularly strong consensus within the WG to publish. The
adoption call [1] was “no objection” and while I see reviews at adoption call,
I see no strong messages of support
*or* opposition. The WGLC was actually completed on version -03, in March of
*2013* [2]. The draft is now version -07, and no new WGLC was done. The reviews
done at WGLC look to me like there were 3 or 4 in total, one of which (mine)
expressed concerns about the document proceeding (the message is referenced in
my previous message), the others mainly focused on the document’s completeness
and accuracy, not whether it was a good or bad idea.
Like Joel, I’m not willing to go to the wall (I.e. Appeal on process
grounds) to prevent this draft from being published, but I thought that this
information might be helpful in determining how to proceed.
