Dear IESG,
Is the intention that this document will update RFC 5892 or not?
The document does not contain a "Updates:" header but the draft name
suggests otherwise to me, hence my question.
As document co-editor, let me say definitively: this document does *not* update
RFC 5892. The filename is an artifact of the early consideration and, as you
know, disappears once the document is published as an RFC. Note the information
at <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-faltstrom-5892bis/>: this is what
the IESG is going on. There is no mention of "updates" anywhere there.
If the document does not update RFC 5892 (or some other document), I
support publishing this document because it will not affect my
implementation of RFC 5892.
It is always nice to hear support from actual implementers. :-)
