Might I, as a relatively disinterested observer of this discussion, 
humbly[1] suggest that pointing the IETF list to a 672-message thread is 
not a way to avoid re-running the discussion "with the same arguments 
and the same participants". It would be significantly more useful if 
you, as chair and the caller of the (apparently rough) consensus 
summarized the issue, explained what you took the objection to be, and 
told us what you saw as the replies to those objections that convinced 
you that WG had properly considered the issue and that there was (rough) 
WG consensus to go with the text you ended up with. Then folks who think 
you called it wrong can explain the essential point they think you 
missed when you made that call. Having the rest of us re-create your 
evaluation of the consensus by reading 672 messages is, at best, 
inefficient.

Cheers,

pr

[1] The non-humble version includes a reference to RFC 7282, sections 2 
and 3.
