Because there was a concensus call on adoption, and the WG chairs called
the consensus as being in favor of adoption.  There have been appeals,
and the appeals did not succeed (I'm not inviting a sub-thread about
that, just stating the current state of play).

I argued against adoption.  But given that it was adopted, publication
can't be held up by a desire for a different outcome to the adoption
call.
