Maybe I don't understand the question. As I see it, since we stopped actually making drafts inaccessible after six months, six months became just a convention for whether a draft is being actively maintained and for whether it's reported in default search results. I think it's a useful convention for those purposes, but one could certainly implement it without actually having (for example) separate repositories. On the other hand, if the only change you're proposing is to remove one line from the I-D header (and associated metadata) and change the boilerplate, I frankly don't think it's worth the expenditure of energy on the part of IETF, IESG, RFC editor, tools team, etc., that would be required to do that. There doesn't seem to be an obvious benefit to justify doing that work, and it sort of looks like change for the sake of change. (otherwise known as "action bias"). The -00 I-D also leaves unstated whether there's any significance at all to the six month figure and that seems like an undesirable ambiguity. Keith
