Historically, Informational RFC was the only choice for
procedural documents that don't change the rules. There is
now a school of thought that if this changes the rules
it should be a BCP, and if it doesn't change the rules
it should be an ION.

It isn't intended to change the rules, but just to describe
current implementation procedures. So the IESG is going to
have to decide between Info RFC and ION. (Unless anyone
asserts that it does change the rules...).
