Because this point keeps getting overlooked, it's worth saying "... a 
published STANDARDS-TRACK RFC ...".

But, whatever. My suggestion is to stop posting in this thread and let the 
IESG do what they need to do, now that they have an appeal in hand. We're 
just distracting them and inflaming the community at this point.

They are actively discussing the topic, not just the appeal. From the most 
recent IESG telechat minutes:
6.2 IESG Statement on BCP 32 (Russ Housley)

    The management issue was discussed.

    Action Item: Magnus Westerlund to draft an IESG Statement on BCP 32.

(taken from https://datatracker.ietf.org/iesg/telechat/391/)

Jari has split off a new thread on "Measuring IETF and IESG trends" - 
obviously, that's not the kind of "posting in this thread" I'm hoping to 
discourage.

Thanks,

Spencer
