RFC 1883 - Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification

This document specifies version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6), also 
sometimes referred to as IP Next Generation or IPng. [STANDARDS- TRACK]

RFC2460, published 1998, clearly says at the top that it obsoletes rfc1883, 
which was published in 1995.
and the ietf would call a singular error an "errata" - sigh.

kids these days.

Then we should blame the ietf and the IPv6 authors for the wrong
information listed in the IPv6 RFC 2460.

if it is indeed erronious, we would call it an "erratum" not "blame."
