RFCs should reference URNs whenever possible.  If there's no URN for a 
reference but there is a DOI, I have no objection to the DOI being included.  
If both exist, I would consider it acceptable to reference both.

I fully support making it easy for RFC readers to access referenced 
publications.  But the RFC editor should not undermine IETF standards efforts.
Are you seriously claiming that the RSE is _undermining_ the IETF standards 
effort by adding an external reference to published RFCs or did I miss 
something (not being a native English speaker)?
By using DOIs instead of URNs, absolutely that's what they're doing.
