+1 – Robert’s suggestion would really help to clarify the aim of this statement – Actually, Robert’s suggestion was the same one made on the 2016 version: https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/support-documents-2016-11-13/ (maybe I need another cup of coffee but I’m failing to see the difference between the two statements – it would be helpful to state why this was redone – was there something recently of concern?) For newcomers, there’s a lot of history on this discussion, including as many of us remember, the RFC++ BoF at IETF102 (2018): https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/102/materials/minutes-102-rfcplusplus-00 video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD29vEjBxls As many know, I am a fan of Informational (for many reasons), this sentence in the minutes captures for me the complexity: “There were observations about the apparent judgement involved in deciding that some RFCs are more important than others based on the stream or category.” And the end conclusion: “there was no potential consensus to judge”
Enjoy the video with your favorite beverage and popcorn – Happy Friday’s –
