Just to make sure we are on the same page, there are TWO references to RFC 4572 in the draft.

The FIRST reference is in section 8, where it is used to reference an example in RFC 4572. The same example exists in RFC 8122, so we can change that reference.

The SECOND reference is in section 10.2.1, as part of the updated text for RFC 5763. Now, RFC 5763 references RFC 4572 in 4 difference places, so if we change the reference to RFC 8122 in the text updated by the draft we would also have to do it in every other place. That was the reason we decided not to do it (I have no problem doing it that's what IESG wants, though).

Regards,

Christer
