And does whenever replies consider the RFC date? (Apr 1 vs Apr?). The various disclaimers?
Even so, there’s no guarantee implementers check. And none if that applies to drafts anyway.

What I care about is this:
The IETF community (and those generating IRTF and
independent submissions) need a way to signal to the
community that draft means just that: it's draft work,
and not intended for broad deployment. Otherwise, we
end up with all of the support issues I mentioned
earlier.

There’s no way to avoid that in any public message even it it
is stated explicitly
Lots of things get deployed even when they aren’t in such
messages.
I.e., that doesn’t seem avoidable.
