Re: [Iasa20] Changes to draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update wrt relationship to 4071/4371

Strangely enough I prefer the 'b' version, since I think it produces a tidier result by reducing the total number of documents that need to be consulted (by elminating 4371).

I also think this is essentially editorial, and therefore OK to do even after the consensus calls.

Secondly, there were differing opinions with regards to whether draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update should entirely replace RFC 4371 or just update it (as the current version does).

Originally, when we wrote the update draft its goal was to just change the trustee selection process, nothing else, hence we did not replace RFC 4371 even if it didn’t have much content. And even if the draft updated RFC 4071 I think it is fine for other parts of the overall system change later, including replacing entire 4071, as long as in the end the new work refers to our draft. However, I can also see that less documents and less complex RFC-to-RFC relationships might be good. And I definitely agree with Brian that we need to get the BCP structure and BCP numbers correct.
