RFCs should reference URNs whenever possible. If there's no URN for a reference but there is a DOI, I have no objection to the DOI being included. If both exist, I would consider it acceptable to reference both.
I fully support making it easy for RFC readers to access referenced publications. But the RFC editor should not undermine IETF standards efforts.
Are you seriously claiming that the RSE is _undermining_ the IETF standards effort by adding an external reference to published RFCs or did I miss something (not being a native English speaker)?
By using DOIs instead of URNs, absolutely that's what they're doing.
