Question about Obsoleted vs. Historic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me out on this one.  I was doing a bit
of analysis on the current RFC list, and noticed that some Draft Standard
documents are obsoleted.  For example:

 954 NICNAME/WHOIS. K. Harrenstien, M.K. Stahl, E.J. Feinler.
      Oct-01-1985. (Format: TXT=7397 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0812) (Obsoleted
      by RFC3912) (Status: DRAFT STANDARD)

This really made me scratch my head. One would imagine if a protocol is obsoleted
by another, it would not be listed as a Draft Standard any longer.  

What is the reason for continuing to list something obsolete as a Draft Standard?

John
