The text allows IESG to override the allocation procedures when they judge there is "strong IETF consensus" to do so. In the situation at issue here: IMHO the main question is whether we have rough consensus that this particular draft should be published as non-Standards Track RFC. If the IESG thinks we have this consensus, they would just approve the document, and the override procedure would not be needed. If the IESG thinks there is no consensus (or it's too rough), the override rule wouldn't apply. So while I think the override rule might be valuable in some cases, it doesn't seem to help here.
