I'm big on "Last Call". One of the ideas was to make Last Calls actually
mean "As far as we can tell, we're done", as opposed to "please have a
look".

I would also like to keep the words 'Last Call' because they have an
important meaning in the Patent Policy, and keeping that link clear in
both directions seems useful, until we can change the Patent Policy.

Beyond that, my major goal is not to lose too much time on discussion of  
this question.
