Hello all,

While we're waiting for everyone to respond to the Doodle poll (*hint*
https://doodle.com/925i53egnm5957i2 *hint*), an example recently came up
for discussion of an errata that is not helping the world be a better place.

http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=4230

I suggest that a measure of a successful errata system will be one
visually and through metadata differentiate between levels of usefulness
for an implementer/reader.   The vote system could be of use here
(though the irony of even thinking "vote" and "IETF" in the same context
tweaks my brain).

Any alternative opinions to whether that measure is reasonable?
