Registrations to an existing registry indeed do not require an RFC.

However, beyond registering a few values, this draft also

— creates a new registry and defines its expert review instructions,
— updates Standards Track RFC 8428 to accept values from this registry in a place previously governed only by a different registry.

While there is still some ongoing debate about whether this was the right approach to address the requirements, if we uphold this approach we will require an RFC.

Grüße, Carsten
