My personal opinion for some time has been that we ought to recognize that
the previous PS moved into "WG draft" years ago and that anything named an
RFC should be recognized as something that market will consider a standard.
And who raised the bar? It wasn't the IESG, it was the market, and more
specifically the product managers and IT managers who adopted RFC conformance
as their criterion.
I'm a bit fed up with the IESG being blamed for this, rather than being
congratulated on adapting to it.
Well, if that's really what happened, then draft-housley-two-maturity-levels seems to solve the wrong problem.

In at least one reading, it could be said that this draft is trying to push against that market perception by re-lowering the bar for PS, contrary to the market reality. I occasionally find a little windmill tilting refreshing, but I'm confused, Brian, as to why you both want the IESG congratulated for adapting to that reality and simultaneously wants them to adopt this.
But possibly a hobgoblin is preying on my little mind, despite my being neither statesman, nor philosopher, nor divine.
