The IETF's basic principle is that ALL feedback is considered for an IETF track document. The specific text was added to this document during handling of Last Call comments in an effort to clarify that all inputs also were considered in this specific case. Accepting off-list feedback, in addition to accepting on-list feedback, has been both common and acceptable practice within the IETF for more than 20 years (from my own first-hand knowledge). As an example, for many I-Ds where I am the person commenting on someone else's document, I send the authors/editors unicast email in order to avoid disturbing an entire mailing list with my humble suggestions. It is the choice of the person sending the comments whether they wish to send those to a list or just send them to the authors/editors.
