Why would the co-authors, the IETF, and the RFC Editor agree to a falsification of history? I suggest re-reading the novel "1984" for further elaboration of this point. Deleting authors is a very Stalinist approach to history. Brian (co-author of RFC7421, which by the way makes no recommendations whatever)
