@huitema @pedromj @paulehoffman @rsalz The burden is the other way from what you're describing. The WG can't issue non-consensual RFCs. Conflicts must be resolved by a process of open review and discussion; if they aren't resolved then issuing an RFC would violate IETF rules for how WGs operate. It's not merely that the authors have to add a warning if there's consensus on a warning. There's no default entitlement for documents to sail through.
