As an outsider (so after this I’ll say no more on the matter, deferring
to you lot), I’m surprised to hear of such a strong position on such
matters. I thought the whole point of the Technical category of errata
was for such cases. As the submission page says, “Technical is an error
in the technical content (This includes changes to the usage of RFC 2119
keywords.)”. This is a case where no reasonable implementer would
implement the exact wording even if they grasped the error. (I’m about
to join those ranks via <https://github.com/serde-rs/json/issues/862>,
having no intention as I implement of following the error).

The other erratum is incorrect, by the way.
