Good point.

As much as I believe the IETF should not give veto authority to any single 
individual, this is one case where it is probably better.

My sense is that, without exception, IETF participants involved in deciding 
process objections has taken their role extremely seriously.  It's difficult 
to believe that this would be any different.  In addition, any abuse by the 
ombudsperson will be very quickly reported and corrected.
