BTW this is an IETF process discussion, not an RFC process discussion.
I've attempted to move it to the IETF list.
Thanks for moving the IETF side of the discussion to a more appropriate venue.
I came across
https://www.ietf.org/process/process/informational-vs-experimental/
as I was catching up with the happenings in the TLS working group.
The web page states the following:
'An "Informational" specification is published for the general
information of the Internet community, and does not represent
an Internet community consensus or recommendation.'
There was an announcement [1] in March 2020 which stated that:
"This document updates RFC 2026 to prohibit the IETF from
publishing any document, e.g., Informational or Experimental,
without rough consensus."
The web page might need some changes to be aligned with the announcement.
