I completely agree with Scott.

I have always viewed the IETF's insistence on deleting the drafts
as a somewhat quaint and unhelpful, historic custom.

A consequence of this process is that there is no definitive record
of drafts for change control and IPR reference purposes.

I think that we should keep a full archive, but if that is not
deemed possible we should at least keep an archive of the
WG drafts up until the point at which they become RFCs. Without
such an archive there is only a partial record of WG change
consensus.
