Probably true, and there are a pile of others that might be appropriate as well.

One thought is to make this eventual RFC a repository of all standards-track CMS and S/MIME modules, even those that don't need to be updated for the 2002 syntax. That gives developers a single place to go for all ASN.1 modules, and maybe remind them of standards-track RFCs that they have forgotten but should pay attention to.

A different thought would be to make it a repository of just the ones that need to be updated. In this scenario, we could still have a list of CMS and S/MIME modules not included because they didn't need to be; that could serve as an equivalent reminder.

How do people here feel about these alternatives?
