Furthermore, this draft is really dependant on RFC3882 and RFC5635, both Informational Status, for a full description of the intended functionality. If this draft is Standards Track, some may mistakenly think there is some kind of preference for this mechanism for triggering Blackholes, vs. the other mechanisms discussed in RFC3882 and RFC5635. I fully support this defining this Well-Known BGP Community, however I believe it should be of equal stature as the other mechanisms discussed in RFC3882 and RFC5635. Therefore, for the above reasons, I think the more appropriate status for this draft is Informational.
