RE: Last Calls: [SOME RFCs] to HISTORIC RFCs

2011-11-01 14:20:36
It appears Ron that you are in cahoots with my wife. ;-(

Without commenting on my attic (or basement), I do agree that documents that 
are clearly outdated should be reclassified as "historic". Any attempt to do 
this (or to clean out my basement) is inevitably going to be incomplete, but we 
should do what is obvious anyway.

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

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
