There is IESG explanation of the distinction here:

Quoting from that, I think this is the criteria that makes it most clear Informational is appropriate for DOCSIS-PIE:
"""

1. If it's not going to be changed no matter what the result is, it's
   Informational. This is typically the case with vendor protocols; the
   vendor will publish it for the good of the community, but retains
   full change control, and gives no promises about listening to
   community feedback. Case in point: "Microsoft Point-To-Point
   Encryption (MPPE) Protocol" (RFC 3078).

"""

It's simply what was done elsewhere, and not going to be changed. Greg was kind enough to write it up, and it's useful information for the community, so the WG had decided to put it forward as Informational.

Does that make sense?
