Today marks the 46th anniversary of RFC 1:

   http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1.txt

Happy birthday, RFC series!

This is also an opportunity to reflect on the
RFC series and the principles behind it.

For example, we have had recent work to
reconsider the canonical format, aiming to
increase the usability of the RFC series
and to match the needs of a even wider
variety of readers. And of course, broad
community input and technical excellence
in the RFCs are the things that can help
make the Internet work better.

Today, the RFC series includes more than 7000
documents. Published on the 30th anniversary
of RFC 1’s publication, RFC 2555 assembles
recollections on the RFC series:
