I'm going to take the liberty of mentioning that I spoke with Ron earlier today about this. Basically what he's asking is that there be no process changes, and, I think, no policy changes, just that IESG members should be mindful about how to phase experimental stuff out when it's flopped. Personally, I think he's correct about both cruft and mindfulness and suspect that probably nearly everybody agrees with what he's saying, anyway, but unfortunately it was presented in a form that made it look like More Process.
