Given that we've historically weeded out the contributor-list on a  
document to "four or less", even if there were really dozens of  
"contributors" at the alleged insistence of the RFC Editor, I don't  
see how any older document or even a majority of new documents-in- 
progress could be adapted to the new rules.

This appears to require complete abandonment of all previous works and  
"clean room" rewrites under the new terms.
