The RFC editor folks were too busy with the RFC format
fun. That's now much further along so I'd hope that it
becomes possible to address the errata system in the not
too distant future. If you care about that, it'd be no
harm to ping the IESG or an AD saying that you think it
is time to improve/fix the errata system.

Cheers,
