Note that 2223bis has Appendices (I'll return to that).

If the RFC Editor really doesn't care, then it boils down to other
considerations (and as I said, it's probably not a big deal). Anyway:

Numbered:
 IF one has reason to refer to the section (as opposed to citing references),
   then a numbered section makes some sense.

Unnumbered:
 More concise.

 Avoids problems with numbering, especially when there are Appendices (which
   are recommended to appear before References)
