Actually we are pretty good about getting early reviews from, for instance,
sec-dir.  Chairs ask, and they happen, and I think that this has been good.
We also get food feedback from IANA, and we can get it early as well.

The problem is getting the majority of the IESG to put credence in these
reviews is part where I think we lose time.
