I carefully wrote "the RFC Editor function". Of course this is an
issue for the wider community - that's *exactly* why we are proposing
a completely new community process for the policy aspect of the
updated RFC Editor function.
  
If anyone cares, I raised the issue of the "unknown" RFCs with
the RFC Editor in 2015, and basically it was put on the "too hard"
list then. Doing 900 last calls like the present one clearly doesn't
scale, and doing just one of them seems pointless.
