My take is that by the time we get to last call, we may be trying to do - are IMHO in the case of the I-D that kicked this off - things that were better done earlier.
I can track I-Ds courtesy of the IETF mauling list (whoops Freudian slip:-) and can take it upon myself to read them but may still have no idea where - if anywhere - a discussion is taking place by whom and I may be prevented from taking part in that discussion anyway; and for me that is the lack of openness that is at the heart of the problem
I believe any individual submission should have a publicly identified, publicly accessible mailing list, perhaps listed in the I-D announcement, so that we can raise issues, hopefully resolve them, before last call. Then a default yes could make sense.
So do I. It's one of the pieces of advice I always give to I-D writers. It is, unfortunately, not often followed.
