I can't believe that I just raised my hand after "who is willing to

I should write the rest:
RFCs are published as Informational, Proposed Standard or
Experimental. This represents the confidence level the IETF/IESG
has at the moment of publication. Irrespective of I/PS/E, a
document may move to Standard (which replaces Draft Standard and
Internet Standard) or Historic if its implementation and deployment
warrant this. The IESG publishes a short note explaining the
rationale when changing designations.
I also like this basic proposal.
I feel there is good value in indicating to people which documents
have clearly succeeded, which have clearly failed, and which
documents are still indeterminate (= the jury is still out). I have
been asked by employers to prepare documents describing this for
various protocols in the past.
