The size of an RFC has nothing whatsoever to do with its impact. It takes
time for people review, test, document problems, and propose alterations.
That's the point of delay and a gradual process.
Anyone can give you a one page document that will break just about
everything. Because its only one page doesn't mean it should be less well
tested and reviewed. Nor does it mean that its somehow easier to test and
review.

I think the minimum time before a document can pass to another
standards-track state is ridiculously long. If an rfc is huge, I can
understand that. But to sweep that over all of them? A two-page
proposed standard can take an absolutely ridiculous amount of time to
pass through! I say we have variations based on how long the document
is.
