I think you might have missed that the modification rules in Section 5
of BCP 78 have an opt-out provision (see the "unless" part of 5.3). I'm
exercising that provision, same way that (e.g.) RFC 5831 exercised that
provision. See https://cr.yp.to/2025/20251024-rules.pdf for details.

===== NOTICES =====

This document may not be modified, and derivative works of it may not be
created, and it may not be published except as an Internet-Draft. (That
sentence is the official language from IETF's "Legend Instructions" for
the situation that "the Contributor does not wish to allow modifications
nor to allow publication as an RFC". I'm fine with redistribution of
copies of this document; the issue is with modification.)
