I don't think anybody's pretending that, but if there's an agreement
between the IETF and people who submit ids that the documents are
going to be disappeared from the IETF archive in six months, I think
it's kind of a problem to change that agreement retroactively.

On the other hand, I'd hate to see indecision about what to do
about old ids seep into indecision about what to do about new
ids going forward.  It seems to me that a new policy saying that
any ids submitted in the future will be archived by the IETF unless
the authors object is far better than allowing the current
situation to continue.  That wouldn't prevent us from going back
and revisiting the problem of old drafts at some future time,
either.
