No. The question in IPR is what the IETF working group does with all
of its documents.
Authors already have the permission under our current process to relax
the change control. I have the ability to try and convince any author
they should do so.
By preventing an author from including an additional statement we've
agreed to in the license you don't prevent the author from relaxing
the change control. You simply prevent the community from knowing
about it and being able to take advantage of it.
Failing to document reality is not generally considered a virtue in these parts:-)
Also note that the IESG has already approved a document of Simon's
with change control provisions at least as liberal as what is being
discussed here.
