I vote we change the type to Informational, and the status to Active, 
and add in big bold letters something like:

"Application developers MAY use this protocol as a short-cut during 
early development. It SHOULD NOT be enabled for production clients or 
servers."

Chris, at the FOSDEM summit we discussed the fact that one of the 
reasons we've got so many XMPP developers is because it is so easy to 
get started. Since SASL represents such an intimidating hurdle for 
someone who only wants to get "hello world" working. We thought it might 
be a good idea to keep non-SASL alive only for developers.

I think Peter also wants to be able to continue telneting into servers ;-)
