What is exactly the problem we're trying to solve here?

I think most of us like to see LC comments related to the drafts that
they are somehow involved with (author, WG participant, etc).  Posting
those comments to the ietf list takes care of that, without work or
effort from anybody.

Most of the 250+ drafts that go last call every year, generate no
comments on the list.  The TLS draft is an exception with 100's of
replies.  However, I cannot remember any similar cases in the last
10 years.  Pressing delete 100 times worked for me, that is a few
minutes of work in a 10 year period, in other words no work at all.

Do we really want to introduce all kinds of complex procedures just
based on one incident?
