We're way past the gendispatch question, but I actually find the
datatracker's refusal to show expired drafts very confusing, especially
when said drafts have been adopted or become an RFC and wish it would do
so, at least by pointing me to the descendent documents. Rather than
omitting documents, I would prefer that the datatracker by default
attempted to sort by relevance, rather than just deciding I didn't want to
see things.
