Genius response from Ronan. I feel very much the same. Anything you do to the 2buss can also be done by the Mastering engineer, so why not leave it to him (unless you really know what you are doing and it is part of your sound as earlier stated).
As a mix engineer, if there is a problem with the mix, it shouldn't be tackled at the mix buss, but at the track level (or group buss level). You shouldn't be dealing with an accumulation of low mids by slapping an eq across the whole mix, when you have access to individual tracks (or stems).
As with anything though, there are exceptions to these statements!
