I agree with what you said as well, as it is my own network, my
infrastructure and, thanks to open source (community) even my own 
software

So I am in 100% agreement with you

but, additionally

I do object to a request for comment that ignores ethics.

For example, should RFC 2588/2979/7288/3511 etc etc describe a method
to re-direct a request for x to y and to abstruse the results non
transparently to x AND to hide that - I would have the same objections.

It is also not just an issue of changing the draft, in this thread I realized 
that 
my own previous c'est la vie, is not what I should aspire to and for
myself it is morally wrong to just go with the flow.

It is really never okay to tell lies. More so, it is never okay to
deceive and it is just wrong to 'normalize' this by rfc.
