In that case, it should be the task of the IETF process
(Document Shepard and responsible Area Director) to reduce the
amount of inappropriate uses of imperatives from rfc-2119.

I have never seen an IETF AD fight so passionately for the
addition of rfc-2119-violating and unreasonable imperatives into
a document such as Pasi is doing it now.
