Right now, we seem in the "hey lets invent more rules mode" and
tomorrow I am sure we are again in the "hey the IETF is way to
complicated to work in" mode.

If you have a unique revision date, why is google and the like not
sufficient to find the matching I-D? Sure, the proposed rule itself
does not hurt, but an increasingly large collection of rules may start
to hurt. So please, lets try to find the minimum number of rules where
we have evidence that they avoid big problems.
