Hi,
I think that the author of RFC2026 was wrong while writing the definition of
Historic status. This document says that Historic should be assigned only to
that documents that were standards and now are obsolete. But why do we need
such narrow definition? Non-standards RFCs are not made Historic while
obsoleting, according to 2026. Moreover, such status will just duplicate the
obsoleted-by one. When there will be the attempt to revise RFC 2026, we
should put there that Historic status is to be assigned to that documents
that are considered to be deprecated. I fully share the opinion of Doug here.
If you think RFC20206 is wrong, then propose changes to it and see if people
agree with the changes. Until it is changed, IMHO you should not propose
actions based on what you as an individual think is incorrect. There needs to
be a community consensus that RFC2026 is wrong before any action should be
taken.
Bob
