I am not sure why this rush to get a new internet draft out, without
consultation to any of its original authors, and given the rough consensus
on ietf mailing list discussion is to keep NETBLT RFC as is (experimental).
First of all, I've consulted the initial author of it, John White, and some
other people off-list.
With all the respect to John, he is not among the original authors of NETBLT
RFC.
Wonder if you can tell me who are the other people that you contacted?
The NETBLT spec found in RFC998 *as is* could not be appropriate for current
Internet,
It was not meant to. It's for discussion and comment.
As I already quoted this in my earlier msg: RFC998 stated clearly that
This document is published for discussion and comment, and does not
constitute a standard. The proposal may change and certain parts of
the protocol have not yet been specified; implementation of this
document is therefore not advised.
so there is a need for another one. In the next 3 months, I think, we will
be a work on it. Moreover, we plan to submit it as Independent Submission as
Experimental RFC, despites it mentions the Standards Track one.

I am confused here:
in your message posted on Jan 7 (2 days ago),
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg65041.html
you said
As for NETBLT, I am strongly against moving it to Historic, rather than
specifying by Standards Track Document. There has been one attempt to do that
by John White in 1995 (see draft-white-protocol-stack), but IMO (that likes
strange, but...) we can align this document with the most current needs of
Internet and publish.
Mykyta
but now you changed your mind?

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts

Title : Network Block Transfer Protocol (NETBLT)
Author(s) : J. White, M. Yevstifeyev
Filename : draft-white-tsvwg-netblt-00.txt
Pages : 34
Date : 2011-01-08
This document is a specification of version 5 of Network Block
Transfer Protocol (NETBLT). This protocol was firstly specified in
RFC 969, that has been made obsolete by RFC 998. Nevertheless, none
of these documents match current Internet Standards and are
deprecated. This document aligns the NETBLT specification with the
most current Internet Standards and obsoletes RFC 998.
