Ask HN: What do you think that RFC 10'000 should be about?

So the RFCs are in the 9700 range:

* https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html

* https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index2.html

* https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc-index.txt

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments

and are getting closer and closer to the 'symbolic' number of ten thousand (10^4). Should that RFC be anything special?

Should it be 'philosophical'? Somewhat forward-looking? Backward-looking / reflective? Humorous? Or nothing special and be treated just like any other RFC?

Bonus question: How about 10240?

Make it about the current US administration's digital bonfire destroying decades of critical records across all fields of history, science, technology, and medicine.
