Exactly. A very large part of the discussion has not been relevant
to the Last Call of this particular version of this particular
draft. In deciding the question, the IESG only needs to look
at comments that are relevant.

but as we've learnt over the last N years, trying to tackle them
simultaneously is manifestly impossible.
