Jonathan said the Cyber Centre will not recommend one over the other. That means Canada plans to treat a limited-applicability, specific-use-case option as equivalent to the RECOMMENDED=Y hybrid.
As is commonly pointed out, the IETF are not the protocol police, as we have limited policing power[1]. Beyond that, you should re-read the text Rich mentioned:
If the "Recommended" column is set to "N", it does not necessarily mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited applicability, *_or_* is intended only for specific use cases. …Note the *or *(emphasis added). Any one of those reasons generates an N, and in this case it seems that the former applies. I am not so sure about the latter two.
