Randy,

Reclassifying old documents to historic is like cleaning your attic. Cleaning
the attic may seem like a terrible waste of time and effort while you are doing
it, but it makes your life much easier the next time you have to find or store
something up there.

Ron,

Given the time that has elapsed since this list last discussed Historicising, I
had almost forgotten that I read the message below; that seemed a good statement
then and seems a good one now.

"Folks,

After reading responses from Scott, John and Keith, I think that I get it. No
matter how low hanging I believe the fruit to be, this isn't going to be cheap
or easy. So, I withdraw the proposal and apologize to Mykyta for having wasted
his time.

                                                     Ron

we don't have enough real work to do?

Clean up is necessary work.  Some hours ago
I tried to understand a discussion about the
"ISE" (independent stream), and gave up on
it when the maze of updates obsoleting RFCs
which updated other RFCs turned out to be
as complex as the colossal cave adventure.

QED
