I’ve been around since 2001, and since London/2001 never missed a single
meeting, and my memory may fail of course (usually don’t), but don’t
recall a single time where this convention was mention in a meeting, mail
exploder, nothing. When I started contributing with my own documents,
somehow, for me was obvious that the draft-00 title should be as much
self-explained as posible, and event temped to make it longer if needed
using for example “palet-v6ops-distributed-security” instead of
“palet-v6ops-ds”, etc., but just because this is the way I usually name my
files and folders in my own computer.
So yes, I guess this convention has been forgotten or not widely enough
spread out.
As a counterpoint, the first draft I submitted was submitted in 2011 (so I'm a
recent arrival) and I've never been to an IETF meeting except for occasional
remote participation. I knew about the naming convention (I've no idea how),
so I'm surprised everyone doesn't know.
