=> according to Glen via RT (RT is a well known bug ticket system):
"This check is in place at the direction of the IETF community, and has
been discussed and debated at length."
I don't recall the Last Call on that question, nor even the I-D.
seems like this calls into question the competence of the people running
IETF's servers. they really ought to know better than to accept random
rumors as technical advice.
