It doesn't have consensus, but the question (when it gets to Last Call) is whether it has rough consensus.

fwiw I agree that there is a manifest problem with ambiguous use of Updates and I think that the proposed solution is good.

I very much doubt it. At the moment RFC793 shows:
"Updated by: 1122, 3168, 6093, 6528"
Whether those are amendments or extensions I don't know. Certainly it's incomplete; for example RFC7474 amends RFC793. And so what anyway? If an important RFC like 793 is amended or extended by 50 RFCs, that should definitely be in the metadata.

"See Also" would rarely be needed, I think, and its usage would be curated
by the IESG.

Stay well,
