I’m confused.  Paul, what do you want to happen? Do you understand the IETF workflow and what “IETF last call” means in terms of process?

Do you know what RECOMMENDED=N means? Quoting [1]:

If the "Recommended" column is set to "N", it does not necessarily
mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either
has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited
applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases. If the
"Recommended" column is set to "D," the item is discouraged and
SHOULD NOT or MUST NOT be used, depending upon the situation;
consult the item's references for clarity.

The IETF expresses an opinion by saying “RECOMMENDED=N”. Many in the IETF recognize that others — often those deploying and purchasing systems — will have a different opinion.
