Apologies for just finding this now … I seem to remember a WG discussion about whether this draft should be BCP or ST. We discussed BCP addressing both what the IETF wanted to be the best practice as well as what is the actual current practice. Since BGPsec was/is new it was/is hard to say it fell in the latter bucket and there was at least one person who felt that the router and operator driven methods weren’t the way to go in the future (hence why there is s8 the "advanced deployment scenarios” section). So the WG said go ST and because this draft has exhausted me we just changed it to ST. I will note that the SECDIR and RTGDIR both had this same comment it seems like we’re back to BCP. I think there was another message somewhere about changing this to BCP so I will do that in -03 unless I hear otherwise.
