Yes, the datatracker has in the past year or two gotten more
aggressive about not displaying expired/archived documents.  They
still show up in a document search, though.

I will take an action item to post a new no-change revision to
un-expire it and return it to the WG dashboard, since you have

I see a -00 and a -01 available at that link, though the diff
(https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-kaduk-kitten-des-des-des-die-die-die-01.txt)
is just updating for external events, such as the publication of RFC
7465 deprecating RC4 for TLS, and the end-of-life of Windows Server
2003.
