Agreed.

True and that's a good reason not to include them now. 7525bis is
supposed to be a Best Current Practice in all three senses of the term.
We've always envisioned that this BCP would be updated periodically, say
every 5-10 years. With 7525 having been published in 2015 and 7525bis
likely to be published in 2022, we're roughly on schedule...
