Because dispatch sessions are being used to add more hoops through

The only times where dispatching is needed is in the rare
case when it's not obvious how to get the answer referred
to above. (That does not mean the actual answer is obvious
but that how to get the answer is obvious.)
Cheers,

Actually, I agree with most of that. The ALLDISPATCH list (or *DISPATCH
list for that matter) should be reviewing drafts/proposals on the list
for obviousness and sending the obvious ones off to the right place
without having to do so at the face2face meeting.
The only thing I disagree with is how "rare" the number of cases of
non-obviousness are. My memory of the last 3 sessions was that a good
half of the proposals were non-obvious (and we may disagree on which
half). That's worth a review and see if we can agree that there are
enough of them to justify an ALLDISPATCH session at every IETF or if the
vast majority would pass a list "Call for Obviousness" and we should
really just BoF the non-obvious ones.
