Yep. Anything can always be appealed of course, and ID nits does call
it out, but we (all of us) miss these over and over again.

FWIW, my own impression is that the current IESG are more ok with the
"accepted by the community" criterion being asserted (e.g. by the
responsible AD) as obviously being the case. And I think that's a
good thing, so we can avoid more of the process-only IETF last calls.

Cheers,

PS: I've added 7251 to the downref registry and called out the
potential blooper in my ballot writeup. [1]
