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.
Thanks for sharing your view. Earlier discussion suggested that the
decision of document status would be punted to the IESG, but it seems
they will only make an aggregate decision about the entire document.
/Simon
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. :-)
