FWIW, I would agree with that if this were an issue of WG focus creep. 
AFAICT, the issue appears to go much deeper, which means it's an Area
boundary issue if it is indeed a protocol extension.

IMO, OPS stays in the lane of suggesting sets of *existing* protocol
parameters and features, or indicates where MAYs and SHOULDs can be
relaxed (or not) - all of this remains compliant with the protocol.
Changes to the protocol should not be considered operational decisions,
again IMO.
