But I certainly know of cases where it has been done, often with
copies to the relevant AD as a safety precaution. It is worth
noting that even the new instructions about last calls indicate
the option of sending comments only to the IESG, rather than the
IETF list, if there are exceptional circumstances. Judgment
about what constitutes the latter are apparently up to the
submitter.
I think this is more evidence that we need more flexibility and
good sense, not more rigid rules.
