Re: Request to close the LC and move forward//RE: WGLC - draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming

The IETF serves users, not “industry”.  The IETF does not promote. Our job is to make the internet work interoperably. Brian has raised an objection that could be answered, but has not been. It is inappropriate to say that this document has passed last call. 

In my experience, when it is hard to get consensus in situations like this it is because there is a wish to not address a concern that has been raised, not because the concern could not be addressed or should not have been raised. It may feel unreasonable, and like an imposition, but it is not. It is part of the process. 

Rather than trying to steamroll over the objection, why not simply answer it?
