What?

RFC 1883 - Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification 

rfc2460 

RFC 1883 - Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification By Hinden, R. This document specifies version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6), also sometimes referred to as IP Next Generation or IPng. [STANDARDS- TRACK]

RFC2460, published 1998, clearly says at the top that it obsoletes rfc1883, which was published in 1995.

and the ietf would call a singular error an "errata" - sigh.

kids these days.

if it is indeed erronious, we would call it an "erratum" not "blame."
