Thank you for reviewing this SM.
The reason this document does not directly update the boilerplate is
that the last revision of the boilerplate RFCs explicitly said that from
now on the IAB updates the boilerplate without needing a new RFC to do
so. Hence, this document is only concerned with tightening the rules,
not writing the boilerplate.
With regard to updating 2026, this updates the text in 2026 that permits
informational or experimental RFCs without IETF rough consensus. it
removes that permission from the IETF stream. I do not know how to
clarify the document in this regard.
Yours,
Joel

The usage of uppercase in Section 3 makes it look like the IETF only
understands an absolute prohibition when it is written in uppercase.
Is that really necessary?
The current boilerplace (RFC 7841) states has the following text: "It
represents the consensus of the IETF community". Is there a reason why
that that RFC if is not being update to match what Section 3 defines?
Which section of RFC 2026 will be updated?
An IETF participant is allowed to disagree with the IESG if he/she
believes that the IESG is taking a bad decision by approving the
publication of a document. There hasn't been any such case in recent
IETF history. I don't understand the rationale for having such a
significant change to address certain corner cases when there isn't any
factual information about such cases.
