The term "last call" is traditional, and I feel a bit of attachment to it, but I think your observation here is exactly correct: we ought not to think of the IETF last call as the end of the process. However, that is a bit of a problem, because I think it's fairly rare for documents to get additional "review" at last call time. Changing the name probably won't fix that.
