If so, I'll look for an AD to sponsor it. I've read the document a couple of times, and it appears to me to be reasonably accurate.

I, too, would prefer to see an update to 2026 that brings it into conformance to current practice. However, Eliot's draft goes well beyond that by proposing substantive changes to current practice, and those proposed changes seem to be quite controversial. In the absence of an update proposal that has community consensus, I think it would be useful to have a description of how 2026 diverges from current practice. So I would encourage Brian to attempt to publish draft-carpenter-rfc2026-critique-02.txt as an information RFC.
