Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought the exercise of IETF judgement relied on rough consensus. Having a subset of folks impose their own, personal preferences -- oh, sorry, their judgement -- is not using rough consensus to make ietf decisions.

Authors of RFCs that set up IANA registries are free to not use "IESG Approval"
as a criterion for allocations, or to allow alternative criteria. In fact
RFC 2780 does allow alternatives, including IETF Concensus. The sponsors of
this IPv6 option chose not to use them.
