It has an STD number; that labels it officially as an Internet Standard.
See RFC 2026 "The Internet Standards Process":

   Some RFCs document Internet Standards.  These RFCs form the 'STD'
   subseries of the RFC series [4].  When a specification has been
   adopted as an Internet Standard, it is given the additional label
   "STDxxx", but it keeps its RFC number and its place in the RFC
   series. ...

Divergent opinions are fine, but please don't attempt to make factual
pronouncements unless you know what you're talking about.
