IMO, BCPs are a way for IETF to endorse desirable practices for which the 2026 
advancement criteria (e.g. interoperability tests) are not applicable.

(a) This shouldn't be labeled as a BCP. It's an A/S Standards Track draft if
ever there was one.

Given the interest, I've started putting together a BCP. It's now posted as
draft-kucherawy-greylisting-bcp; comments welcome (and thanks to those of 
you
that already did). It is only an outline right now, and I'll fill it in as
people make suggestions about topics it should cover and/or start providing
text to include.

It doesn't touch the SMTP extension people are discussing. Someone else can
champion that one if so inclined. That shouldn't go in a BCP because it
doesn't even exist yet. This document will only describe current and 
historic
practices.

Maybe we can get it on the docket for Taipei. I'll send out some friendly 
pings.
