Hi. RFC 3967 is not applicable in cases where the appropriate
solution is to advance the normative downreference on the standards
track. In each case where you have a normative down reference, to a
PS, please explain why advancing that document is not the appropriate
solution.
It is my opinion that "it would be hard to do so" is not a reasonable
answer to this question.
Note, however, that I would support a BCP modification to relax these
requirements. However I believe that in this instance we should
follow our process or properly change/update our process.
