Interesting. From 1998 on it looks like we go from 10% of ID’s becoming RFCs to 5%. A combination of having a typical RFC being published after draft-15, as well as a ton of -00’s that go nowhere, perhaps?

I’m not convince that the year they wound of in the archive is the year in the index file, but I don’t feel like trying to parse the index file.
