True, but that isn't a BCP with IETF consensus, is it?
No it isn't. My understanding of the reasoning behind that choice, though, was that it matched the new model better to have the model documents published in the IAB stream. Leslie and Olaf may have better clue than me, though.
Indeed. Paraphrasing my recollection: the motivations was the idea that on the topic of the RFC model, the IETF community was a subset of the interested parties and publication on the IAB stream would signal a disinterested broker.
