Brian's original proposal:
... unless we recall it from the RFC Editor and cycle it through the
IESG again. But I propose that we do exactly that ...

Your response:
... I would support this change. ...

Randy's response:
... if there is real consensus on this, processwise it could be done
with a note to the rfc editor or in the 48 hour edit call as s/he is
doing the final edits. ...

IMHO, that looks like a subversion of the wg process for something that
is in effect a major architectural change.

Yes. The reason I claim it is architectural is it proscribes against
simultaneous support for multiple scopes.
