With regard to maintenance, the two areas I am most active in each have enough maintenance that having one WG for all the maintenance (in each area) simply would not work. IDR, LSR, and MPLS for Routing. 6man (which is even named as a maintenance group) and DHC (and probably even some of the others) in Internet. Yes, the IETF used to have a policy against long lived working groups. We found it didn't work.
