[Bruno] Short version: there is no specific reason not to use Standards Track. Authors are fine to change to Standards Track, especially after 3 AD reviews asking for it. Following a discussion with Warren, I'll wait for the IESG telechat before uploading the new version. Long version: I think this had been discussed on the mailing list, but I can't find the thread. AFAIR (or dreamt) one WG participant said that Informational was enough and nobody asked for Standard Tracks. Note that from a technical standpoint, this community may be deployed incrementally, on a per ASBR or even EBGP session basis. Strictly speaking, there is no requirement that all implementations (in the AS and neighboring ASes) recognize this community. However, we do want to associate a well-defined behavior to this IANA reserved community, so Standard Tracks is fine with me.
