The following URL is a diff between draft-farrel-mpls-sfc-04
and draft-farrel-mpls-sfc-05, when section 6 was updated to change Segment
Routing to “Label Stacking”. (Note that the only changes from
draft-farrel-mpls-sfc-05 to draft-ietf-mpls-sfc-00 were the name and date
change).

https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-farrel-mpls-sfc-05.txt

If you examine the changes to section 6, it’s pretty clear (at least to me)
that the changes are really just cosmetic in nature, such as removing a
reference to draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing and changing a few terms
here and there.

That, combined with the fact that the MPLS WG had never discussed “Label
Stacking” in a draft (never mind an RFC) prior to the introduction of
Segment Routing leaves me to conclude that section 6 really does need to be
removed in order to comply with the WG concerns about -04 and earlier
revisions of draft-farrel.

Thanks,
Andy
