That's not an IETF matter. There's no STD on this. There's nothing 
(AFAICT) in a BCP about this. So nothing for the IETF to do.

Again, entirely up to the RFC Editor. The IETF never documented that 
particular numbers would be used for such purposes; that's entirely an 
RFC Editor convention (again, AFAICT).
