Having people's mailboxes explode from ill-considered public pressure
campaigns? At the start, I got as much email in one hour as I often get in a
week.

Well, it's not the first time - the FSF pulled the same stunt back in October
of 2007. And no doubt, if it continues to be allowed, it will happen again.

My original proposal was very simple: create one more list as a formal notice
place for LC's, since many of the FSF drive-by posters were saying 'but, but
your LC said send comments here'.

Anyway, nothing is stopping an IETF person from sending email to the IETF list
about something they want to bring up there, so if an LC has something that
really bugs someone in the IETF, they can still send email to the IETF list
about it.
