Let me disagree with that statement.

We can certainly stop discussing a feature if it doesn't end up in the
standard, but as long as it is on its way to the standard, discussion
ensures it's in the best shape possible. If that takes time, so be it.
If that takes too much time, that implies the feature can't be in the
standard (in the view of those who judged "too much time").
