It's not that simple, at least in my opinion.
I'm generally fine with fast tracking a document that describes a simple
protocol that is easily understood, easily implemented,
noncontroversial, and has a limited impact. In all other cases, I think
that more deliberation is appropriate. That's not to say that IETF
currently makes good use of deliberation time. But I'd rather see it
make better use of that time, than to try to reduce that time without
first improving protocol and document quality. For example, I'd like to
see earlier and more explicit cross-area review.
