It's not just you. I would change the default from "indicate your 
support or objection to proceed with the publication of this document" 
to "send your comments as to whether this version is ready for IETF-wide 
Last Call", and change "Objections should be motivated and suggestions 
to resolve them are highly appreciated" to "Comments should be 
explained, and suggestions to resolve objections are highly 
appreciated." The current text does encourage +1s, which are not all 
that useful. But like you said, I suppose I can change the text every 
time I use it. I just think it's a bad default.
