In the current situation, with the IETF pretending that old versions are not accessible, and with drafts apparently disappearing as they change WG status or become RFCs, people have to work very hard to find out if a particular draft is outdated. This is a major factor in their depending on wrong information. So, instead of trying to suppress information, which we can't, we should create and offer the meta-information people need to avoid mistakes. > If that can't be done, it might be better to keep the expired > drafts "officially hidden".

Suppose they could get them from some reliable source (e.g. IETF) and also had extremely available meta-info? swb _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
