I'd argue that the current errata system is fairly useless
in general, so the biggest downside of building on that is
perpetuating that system. Better to (at some point, not sure
when), start over entirely with how to deal with errors and
infelicities in RFC text. By "start over" I mean start with
(re-)defining what the system is for. Meanwhile, were it up
to me, I'd not have anyone do any new work based on the
current errata system.

Cheers,
S.
