I was probably the person suggesting the current writeup, based on my previous interaction with IANA regarding RFC 7401 publication.

Before making any IANA section changes, I would like to ask for further clarification, because it seems to me that the guidance being given now conflicts with instructions we received from IANA when revising RFC 5201 to become RFC 7401.

When RFC 5201 was updated to RFC 7401, we originally followed the "copy forward the IANA section" approach, but were told by IANA that they preferred that we instead state the updates to be taken on existing registries rather than repeating earlier actions that were already taken to create the registries.

That led to the following revisions (where you can see, when using the IETF rfcdiff tool, in version 14 it is a copy forward while version 15 it updates the existing registries):
