COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

RFC 7994 is not a product of IETF consensus, so it seems inappropriate to
publish a consensus BCP predicated on requirements defined in RFC 7994 which
themselves do not have IETF consensus. This would be the only document related
to the RFC format in the last 10 years that I'm aware of that would be
published on the IETF stream.

There has been discussion about how embedding YANG models in RFCs seems like a
poor fit for a number of reasons. By standardizing line-folding mechanisms and
claiming them as a best practice, this document reinforces the root of that
problem rather than trying to fix it.
