It also has a lot of errata, some only collected in an unpublished draft at the moment. Procedural improvements could start with the "errata" procedure, it's a bit slow. Obvious typos submitted by an original author shouldn't take two years. Or another "decruft" experiment, that worked well. One of the submitted pending errata mentioned several RFCs which could now be moved to "historic", because they depend on RFCs cleaned up in the first "decruft" round. A minor point could be to sort BCPs in "technical" and "admin". The "ION" experiment is promising. Brian's proposal to extract the "appeal" stuff from 2026 was also good.
