I think the RFC series as a whole needs to contain both, but I'm not saying
that both should exist simultaneously for any given set of documents within
the RFC series.  I think we've reached a point where the time series for
DNS has become so complex and convoluted that it's time for a reset to make
it readable again.  We can then carry on patching that with time-series
documents if we want, but the rewrite will give us a new baseline that's
coherent and complete, which we don't have today.
