Absolutely. I think that Int-area as a forum is to me more meaningful than IntArea WG is where certain documents will be advanced.
Maybe other areas like TSV have specific reasons to create a WG like TSVWG which has lots of documents, I don't see the same in Int-Area. I think that people should take the pains to organize a BoF and establish consensus if they wish a new WG.
