I'm not sure. Errata are not supposed to be used when you disagree
with the working group, only when there is an involuntary slip. To
quote draft-rfc-editor-errata-process:

We note that allowing technical errata is a slippery slope: there may
be a temptation to use errata to "fix" protocol design errors, rather
than publishing new RFCs that update the erroneous documents.  In
general, an erratum is intended to report an error in a document,
rather than an error in the design of the protocol [...]

In this case, it seems the working group made a wrong choice, but
deliberately.
