Otherwise it really does not matter. Only some RFCs have code.

Except that it prevents using the text of an RFC as comments in an
implementation.
actually that's intended to be permitted by RFC 5377 section 4.2:

4.2.  Rights Granted for Quoting from IETF Contributions

  There is rough consensus that it is useful to permit quoting without
  modification of excerpts from IETF Contributions.  Such excerpts may
  be of any length and in any context.  Translation of quotations is
  also to be permitted.  All such quotations should be attributed
  properly to the IETF and the IETF Contribution from which they are
  taken.

You're not permitted to modify the text. You are permitted to use it.
