This is, I think, a key point.

https://ietf-gitwg.github.io/using-github/draft-ietf-git-using-github.html#name-internet-draft-publication might be expanded to recommend publication of drafts at other times, but I have two reasons - on top of the above - that we might not:

* This is a document about *working group* procedures.  If we get into individual draft management, that's scope creep.

* I have found that the "link to a Google doc or GitHub repo" pattern routinely results in a request for someone to post a draft.  To my mind, that has been sufficient thus far.
