I support the adoption of this; seems pretty straightforward.

But isn't it possible to point specifications like RFC 8314 to a BCP 
somewhere so that we don't need to revise everything that references TLS 
whenever there is a version update? Seems like a lot of unnecessary work.

If 8314 is being replaced rather than updated, there are a few other 
things that could be done at the same time:
   * Address the outstanding erratum
   * Update the reference to MTA-STS
   * Possibly include reference to REQUIRETLS, especially for message 
submission
