If you are referring to your recent IESG experiences with being a document

That's not at all what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the effort
involved in putting the document together, not sheparding and other
managerial duties.
Maybe other people view this differently, but when I'm working a document
that's going to appear as a formal publication in a document series for a
wide audience with my name attached, I spend a lot of time on word and
organization choices.
This serves as one more item in a list of reasons one needs to view any extra
formal step as needing extra work, and that discounting the /amount/ of that
work tends to lead to commiting to much higher overhead.
We all -- everyone in the IETF -- should be looking for ways to do things that
require /less/ work, not more.
This latest proposal borders on a model that all interactions with the IESG must
result in an RFC. No, that's not what got stated, but it strikes me as a
reasonably modest bit of logical extension.
