Hi,

Is that the new modus operandi within the IETF, that extremely weak, 
poorly engineered Informational Docs can be fast tracked as a 
"standard" in the IETF?

No, that's just standard marketing lies. If anybody actually reads the
RFC in question, it says:

   This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
   published for informational purposes.

   This is a contribution to the RFC Series, independently of any other
   RFC stream.  The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at
   its discretion and makes no statement about its value for
   implementation or deployment.  Documents approved for publication by
   the RFC Editor are not a candidate for any level of Internet
   Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.

I hope not. Especially when a proposed standard ADSP rfc5617 was 
officially abandoned for the 100% same issues and problems its 
replacement "Super ADSP" a.k.a. DMARC has.   So if we abandoned ADSP 
for reason X and DMARC suffers the same exact X problem, shouldn't it 
be abandoned as well?
