Re: Pre-IETF RFCs to Historic (not really proposing)

ps - as Keith points out - a round of this type of effort was undertaken by the 
newtrk
working group a while back (I was the chair and did not see much reason to
do so at the time but there was consensus in the WG to proceed) - I will note
that it took quite a bit of work to ensure that technologies were actually 
unused

I'm fully supportive of reclassifying any RFCs that pose a risk to the

to historic but fail to see the usefulness of doing so for RFCs that describe 
unused but non-harmful technologies - seems like busywork and useless at best.

Dear all,

I've recently received a message from Ronald Bonica, one of the ADs, 
proposing undertaking an effort to reclassify many pre-IETF (pre-1000) RFCs 
as Historic.  However, I initially had a concern regarding community 
consensus on such effort, and whether it will be accepted so that the IESG 
may claim the former.  Since I've already suggested a very similar proposal, 
and there was a negative reaction of community, I assumed the same would 
happen in the case Ronald pursued the work and forwarded it to the IESG.  So 
am I right?
