Which decision are you referring to?
I have certainly never decided that working group wants to work on header insertion.

With regards to the documents, I believe I clarified the statement of the working group seeing no reason why both documents couldn't be continue to be worked on.
Those documents are not adopted, nor has any decision about adoption been made, nor is any adoption call of those documents planned.

I certainly don't want us as a group or myself personally to be working on header insertion.
You might not be alone, but you certainly keep repeatedly forcing the working group to consider the issue.

I believe I have responded multiple times to this point.
I do not in principle see a conflict with specifying how header insertion can work in a specific case,
and the text in RFC8200. I would strongly oppose updating RFC8200, since header insertion is clearly
something that can only apply in specific use cases.

I try to do the best job I can, and be fair, neutral, open and transparent.
That job is clearly not easy when this particular debate is as disruptive as it is.
You at least always have RFC2026, section 6.5.
