And in this particular case, a BCP is exactly the right thing. I really don't think so, at least not in its current form. I think it's fine to publish it as-is as an opinion piece but it seems to me that if it's going to be published as a "BCP" it really needs to be clearer about specifically what is going to change in the current document development and publication process. I'd be a little alarmed if somebody today decided that there's IETF consensus on publishing as a BCP and that the inevitable nay-sayers can be ignored; there seems to me to be significant dissent.
