[rfc-i] FYI sub-series and RFC 1150 - proposal to update

[housley at vigilsec.com (Russ Housley)]

Mykyta:

Do you really think that these will help anyone reading RFC 2223 or RFC 5741?

RFC 2223 is very out of date.  It need to major revision.

The reference to RFC 1150 in RFC 5741 is not a major point.  Rather, it says that RFCs can have other labels like BCP and FYI.  That remains true.  We will surely assign more BCP labels.  We are not stripping FYI off any existing RFCs.
