I understand why Paul Vixie does not like 1400 set in stone.
Having said that I think it's in fact _not_ set in stone because the text says
RECOMMENDED.
My interpretation is that it means "if you don't know any better use 1400", but
RECOMMENDED is more concise.
I read RECOMMENDED as “don’t think you are smarter than the collective IETF”.
Or maybe that’s just how I hope people will read it.
I think your interpretation is more like a MAY.
Well there's no need to guess!

may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
particular item, but the full implications must be understood and
carefully weighed before choosing a different course.
