Re: [rfc-i] I-D expiry [was Re: RFCs vs Standards]

I prefer "inactive" because it's a simple statement of fact (nobody has updated this for the last six months or more).

RFC 1 is inactive. draft-hallam-http-logfile is inactive. The fact that one of them is in use and the other isn't is orthogonal to the document's state.

"inactive" seems too weak but "expired" seems too strong. How about "retired". Something can always come out of retirement...

    Maybe "inactive" rather than "expired" or "unsupported"?
