With all that said, it's clear that the current boilerplate is a no-go

so we can switch the status section to the "IETF Informational w/

consensus" one 

(https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/status-memos.txt).

Additionally, addressing Mark's comment about an ACK from other

consumers of the REP, I'll put out a public request on an official 

Google social media account inviting other search engines to reply

here. We did check in with them before submitting the draft as well 

as when we made notable changes (v5 -> v6), but I agree that the 

other consumers of the REP should also at least acknowledge the 

publication of this draft, considering how important it is in general.

If the authors are prepared to make this change, I'd like to hear why "IETF Standards Track w/consensus" is (or should be) off the table, especially if other search engines are going to indicate support.
