This is a call for review of "List of Internet Official Protocol
Standards: Replaced by an Online Database" prior to potential
approval as an IAB stream RFC.
The document is available for inspection here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rfced-rfcxx00-retired/
From Section 2.1 of RFC 2026:
'The status of Internet protocol and service specifications is
summarized periodically in an RFC entitled "Internet Official
Protocol Standards".'
My guess is that draft-rfced-rfcxx00-retired cannot update RFC
2026. Does the IAB have any objection if I do something about that?
From Section 3:
"This document formally retires STD 1. Identifier STD 1 will not be
re-used unless there is a future need to publish periodic snapshots
of the Standards Track documents (i.e., unless the documentation is
resumed)."
The document argues that STD 1 is historic as there is an online list
now. The above reserves an option to restart periodic snapshots if
there is a future need. I suggest removing that option as I presume
that the IAB has thought carefully about the long term evolution of
the Series before taking the decision to retire STD 1.
