I think we call this a rough consensus.
This text is there because during the working group mailing list discussion many people thought it was important to summarize RFC3177 and because this document is replacing and making RFC2374 historic. Specifically because RFC2374 defined the 001 prefix, the working concluded showing an example using that prefix was important in this document.but the point is that this is not needed here, as it is covered in the appropriate document.
