I don't think so ..given the perfectly rational questions that are being asked about this particular sub-optimal site, the community has a perfect right to ask pointed questions about why it was selected and what if any were the alternatives. The deal is done, I agree with that, but there are aspects of this particular selection that are different from any other I've seen in the IETF in the 10 years or so I've been attending. Sites that are substantially distant from city centers or major transportation hubs IMHO don't work for the IETF community irrespective of whether they are in North America, Asia or ECMA.
