What was the reasoning behind removing the Agent Subnet mask option 
during the gestation of RFC3046? It was there in

draft-ietf-dhc-agent-options-08

and gone in

draft-ietf-dhc-agent-options-09

I ask because I have an application where it would be very useful.

I realise that this is a long time ago, which begs a meta-question, do 
publically-accessible archives exist for the DHC working group mailing 
list, stretching back that far? I found

    http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dhcwg/current/index.html

but that doesn't seem to allow access to historic archives.

Cheers,

Simon.
