I don't agree with the premise.  Any Last Call is in essence a statement
that the IESG is preparing to take some action it believes is appropriate
and justified, and wants (or, if you prefer, is required) to test community
consensus on that decision.  That could be a WG being chartered, a document
approaching readiness for publication as an RFC, or a PR action for which
supporting evidence appears to exist.  This is no different.

I also don't particularly care for the insinuation that there might be
reprisals ("disfavor") if the community decides the IESG got it wrong.  If
the consensus goes against this action, then we'll just end up having to
figure out where we go from here.  That presumes a lack of integrity.  Were
I to engage in such reprisals, I would expect to be recalled.
