Sometimes advice needs to change quickly as new things are learned, the IETF process may not reflect that. Iterative drafts reflect the best collective knowledge at that point in time. Capturing that historical view may not feel interesting today, but over time understanding the iterations and why things that changed quickly (eg: ip directed-broadcast) is useful. Those recommendations often shift faster than the IETF could move even in the best of scenarios. - Jared
