STD 1 is a strange case, because although it used to be generated by the
RFCE, it is in fact a document that derives algorithmically from
IESG decisions. My recommendation for many years was to abolish
it - problem solved!
My point is that the number of RFCs generated directly by the RFCE is
very small and not worth creating a formal stream - and certainly not
significant compared to the big organizational issues.
