It's certainly a weakness of the IETF, this lack of documentation for
previous decisions (but it is hardly specific to the IETF). The
problem is that such documentation takes a lot of time and effort,
probably as much as writing a RFC, since it may be hard to gather a
consensus on why we did not do this or that. I'm afraid we will lack
volunteers.
Such documents should clearly not be consensus documents and perhaps not
even be RFCs. Perhaps it would still be useful to record a list of
participants' positions in the datatracker (for those willing to state
their positions), and a number of votes for and against each.
