I would propose that the new BCP be the set of 1984 and RFC2804 (which is
also informational).
I also think that this would be proceedurally make more sense.

My recollection is that the 1995/96 debate that led to RFC 1984
was virtually unanimous, but the consensus for RFC 2804 was quite
a bit rougher.

Has anyone considered the potential to revise this document properly (as
it should be) and then issue it (and any additional documents) as "BCP
1984"?

If kitsch is what you're after, that would serve the purpose without
this silly end-run around process.

There is no end-run. The IESG might conclude from the discussion that there
is no rough consensus to reclassify the RFC.

In which case, yes, developing "BCP 1984" would be a cute response. But that 
would
be a separate discussion.
