in general the instructions to the RFC Editor (through the IAB) have
been to prioritize IETF work over independent submissions for
quite a while
I think I saw a note in this thread that suggested that the RFC Editor
should not even be doing non-IETF work (and I am equating IETF working group
documents and standards track individual submissions (shich go through
IETF last-call) as "IETF")
I think that IETF work should have a higher priority but not
block non-ietf work
but if folks think that this is the wrong priority then teh IAB
should adjust the instructions to the RFC Editor
