misunderstand your point,
Once an RFC number is issued and the document published, the content of
that RFC never changes.
See RFC 2200 section 2
I agree, but still IETF can update or obsolete any document,
The question ment to be:
Do you mean that IETF is producing what it does not own, or IETF has
no right to edit/amend a document that will be published?
The IETF has the right to make derivative works. That is, use the contents of
an RFC to publish a new one.
We can also file errata, declare an RFC historic, etc.
