A DISCUSS isn't a veto. I've seen numerous cases even in my short experience
as an AD of DISCUSSes leading to, er, discussion and a new draft (or edits)
that solves enough of the issues that the AD removes their DISCUSS. I don't
think I've seen any new DISCUSSes that I would categorize as frivolous or
individualistic.

What we do have is a long tail on the distribution of the dwell time of
DISCUSSes. I haven't had a chance to analyze the root causes of the very
old DISCUSSes.
