Harald, we certainly agree that, regardless of what we do, some
of these will ultimately hit the IESG during final review (as
well as agreeing that the Kerberos WG is a poor example).
However, I think your comment could be construed as a little too
accepting of the situation. From my point of view, any time
that one of these situations is not discovered before Last Call
is an indication of a failure in the system, a failure that the
relevant ADs should be examining carefully in the hope of
preventing future failures of the same or similar nature.
