Tom,
Last, comments from organised review teams should be sent to the last
call list as opposed to being made available to the community.
The last call list *is* available to the community, so this is just
being more specific about what "available to the community" means.
Is that a problem?
More pointedly -- it lets folks see discussions of IETF work product
without them getting lost among (checks notes) 150 messages about a New
York Times article, 132 posts about QUIC and DNSSEC, and 234 messages
about inclusiveness.
I'm not necessarily saying these topics aren't worth discussing; but
it's important to get broad consensus on the documents we publish as
RFCs, and we can't afford to lose those conversations under the crush of
high-volume topics. The risk of documents in last call getting lost in
the noise is far more of a barrier to being "available to the community"
than the use of a dedicated mailing list.
