I support this. It creates a sensible jurisprudence.

The fear of DoS is legitimate, but also of an affinity group forcing an RFC 
in the hope that immediate decisions taken make the appeal moot. This is in 
particular the case if the RFC documents and feeds a IANA registry.

This is precisely a thing were arbitrary decisions should never be allowed, 
since it is contentious. It should be mechanical one way or another. The 
way is now set.
