Not to put words in the responsible AD's mouth, but we do have a process for dealing with this situation. What it looks like to me is that there is IETF consensus to publish the document, as long as it comes with appropriate caveats about applicability. Normally in a situation like this, there would be text added to the document as a result of IETF last call comments before the document ever made it to IESG review.
