This is an important point, but I come to a different conclusion: If the 
two week deadline works for some WGs and not for others, this argues for 
WGs to be able to control whether or not to impose the deadline and for 
it *not* to be an IETF-wide requirement. Indeed, some WGs might operate 
in a way that a different deadline (longer or shorter) makes sense.

For some WGs, it is broken. So let's have a discussion on what the 
assorted needs are and only after that decide what rules and tools (if 
any) are needed.
