I'd like to take this a step further: why do we need to update our
boiler plate at all? It's my understanding that the incoming rights
have not been changed at all here; that should and I think does require
a BCP.
The trust is updating what rights they give others outside the IETF
process. I guess Ic can see why that might affect the boiler plate the
RFC editor uses. However, I don't understand why I as an internet draft
author should have to join the boiler plate of the month club. I
thought one reason we set up the inbound vs outbound split was to avoid
exactly this sort of mess.
