Whooops.  I wasn't aware of any non-intuitive limits to distribution of
newer RFCs as-is.  The original waiver

   The distribution of this memo is unlimited.

seems to have been discontinued somewhere around late 2008.
(rfc5246 aka TLSv1.2 still carries it).

Where is the problem with including (newer) RFCs with implementation
source code for distribution?
