Yup.   E.g., it's worth reading the IESG response to John Klensin's appeal, and also the IESG response to Dean's most recent appeal.   I wasn't on the IESG for either of these, so I have no attachment to the text as written, but in both cases it seems very clear to me that the right thing was done, and that the responses were well reasoned and thorough.
