Exactly, do I have to send an engineer to every IETF WG meeting just to
make sure that they don't decide to delete some feature of some protocol
that I am depending on?
They do not not only delete. I suggest you just come to the WG-ltru where
they have decided to document RFC 2277 charsets into RFC 3066 langtags. So
you can enjoy charset conflicts, something you never though about, I
presume. You cannot stop progress.
