There was a time when all designs had equal footing, but over the last
couple years we raised various issues and closed them, culminating in
a decision 28 June that we had a design that met our requirements and
addressed all outstanding issues.

So at this point, if you want the WG to consider a different design, the
burden is on you give new information that motivates reconsidering
earlier decisions.

Which cases are those? I scanned the thread and I don't see what you're
referring to. If they're use cases that other WG members
find important, there may be sufficient cause to re-consider some 
decisions.
