I'd like to take this a step further: why do we need to update our
boiler plate at all?  It's my understanding that the incoming rights
have not been changed at all here; that should and I think does require
a BCP.

The trust is updating what rights they give others outside the IETF
process.  I guess Ic can see why that might affect the boiler plate the
RFC editor uses.  However, I don't understand why I as an internet draft
author should have to join the boiler plate of the month club.  I
thought one reason we set up the inbound vs outbound split was to avoid
exactly this sort of mess.
