I doubt that serving I-Ds from another site would change much [1].

The following thread is an illustration of the discussions which 
occur every now and then outside the IETF: 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cfrg/ved8f1t70B0M2aDuc6I0DcsDH1o/ 
The github repository [2] for the research group mentions "Standard 
Draft".  The research group is either publishing misleading 
information or not bothered by what goes into its repository.

It would be good to have the status represent the current status of 
the draft instead of a boilerplate clause which does not match reality.
