Re: Last Call: <draft-eggert-tcpm-historicize-00.txt> (Moving the Undepl

Hello all,

While I fully agree with what this document proposes.  This might be an 
editorial comment but I 've noticed that RFC 1072 is not mentioned to be 
made Historic despite the option specified by it is made obsolete.  What 
is more, referencing all the documents made obsolete normatively is OK?  
Here I suggest only RFC 4614 to be mentioned in this way.
However I'd like to raise some questions not directly connected to this 
document.  I wonder why those who said a few weeks ago that 
historicizing some documents in the similar situation is not appropriate 
do not object now.  The arguments of these folks were that RFC 2026 sets 
the criteria for Historic status as 'replaced by other doc' and did not 
consider 'being deprecated' (what exactly we have in the current case) 
as weighty reason for historicizing document.
Moreover, there are no clear procedures for moving documents to 
Historic.  So everybody who wants to propose to move some RFC to 
Historic must think out what procedures should be used or find them out 
in the most recent documents.
Up to this day there are neither any clear definition of Historic RFC 
status nor procedures for historicizing RFCs.  Should this continue?
