Right. While there can be debates about how to label RFCs (and even better, the outcome of those debates varies over time;-) that's something that can be decided on a case by case basis e.g. as you add milestones or later. In this case, I guess you can think of it as follows: - If a document just says what's out there but isn't trying to encourage anyone to do thing in that precise way (or to not do that) then its informational. - If a document is recommending to do stuff "this" way, then its more of a BCP. - There're grey bits in between. If you want the official word on that, you can read the bit of rfc 2026 that describes BCPs [1] but note what I said above - we have folks involved in the IETF who can debate this stuff endlessly. Better to decide what you wanna do though and not get hung up on status. S.
