I think the current working group consensus for the policy of the
recommended column is reflected in the following statement:

Setting a value to "Y" or "D" in the "Recommended" column requires IETF
Standards Action [RFC8126 <#RFC8126>]. Any state transition to or from a
"Y" or "D" value requires IESG Approval."
