Added sentences to section 8.1 explaining that BCPs and FYIs are sub-

Namely:
The sub-series of FYIs and
BCPs are comprised of "Informational documents" in the sense of the
enumeration above, with special tagging applied.
That's certainly true of the FYI series (which I believe the
RFC Editor regards as dormant today).
For what it's worth, there's a document in the dnsop queue which the wg
intends to send up the tree for publication as fyi, once past wg last
call. So the series might be dormant today, but there's a reasonable
chance it might snort in its sleep and roll over in due course.
I've always wondered what the designation "for your information" adds
to an RFC that is already labelled "informational".
