The IETF-wide last call period for gsskeyex; as I understand how 3967 is
being implemented by the IESG, this would require another last-call
cycle.

Speaking just for myself, I don't think this degree of simplification is
worth the delay it would apparently now require.

As a side note, it appears that there isn't yet a repository listing
informational rfc's which are ok to reference normatively from standards
track documents.
