Despite currently excessive number of comments, I think we should

if traffic on the list is now too high and information content per

Last Call stage is too low.
I don't have a problem with the number of messages. Deleting is easy.
But I wouldn't mind stricter enforcement of the Subject lines...
Note that this opinion is entirely separate from the value of the
comments. Repetition and mail bombing is not valuable. Well justified
opinions are very valuable. The latter may come from both inside and
outside the IETF; sometimes experts on some topic can be persuaded to
send in a comment, but not to subscribe to lists or engage in lengthy
debate.
I think anyone who posts to the IETF list should have his unsubscribe
function disabled for a week.
That seems like a punishment that fits the crime.
