Yes.  It is up to the vendor to assess whether it is sound 
engineering or a financially-viable decision.

One of the persons discussing on the thread is an IAB member.

The consensus is on the text in the first part (Section 4) at 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5933  The recommendation is to 
replace the original two paragraphs with four paragraphs.  If the 
above is what appendix B states, the clarification (re. erratum) is not needed.

For what it is worth, there was an email which is allegedly from an 
Area Director.  One of the points in that email is about "a misuse of 
the Errata process".
