The issue iirc is that if say RFCxxxx is obsoleting RFCyyyy
must the IANA considerations in RFCxxxx say that all the
registries that used point at RFCyyyy need to be updated to
point at RFCxxxx? I don't think that needs to be done (but
it can be done). I think Barry's position, and the text of
the 5226bis draft say that it has to be done.
seems like a good make-work requirement with little actual benefit
of course, if the details of the registry changed with the replacement RFC that
is a different case
