My understanding is that redaction is sometimes necessary or useful, but even
then the WG has no final solutions.  We just propose an algorithm, and thus
the document is informative.  If aiming at PS implies devising a protocol for
thoroughly redacting messages, I suggest we don't.

+1, this is meaningful.

IMHO, by this argument, [RFC4408] could be moved to the normative references

While I agree that placing references according to the status of referred
documents is nice, I don't think it is so essential a facet as to seriously
disrupt publication schedules for perfecting it.
