[rfc-i] FYI sub-series and RFC 1150 - proposal to update

[housley at vigilsec.com (Russ Housley)]

Olaf:

Yes, the last posting to the FYI sub-series was from the Independent Stream; however it obsoletes RFC 2828, which was on the iETF Stream.  We could esplore whether this was an error, but it it not worth it at this point.

I do not know that whether that was a conscious decision. Granted, at the time the RFC editor put the approval process with the User Services WG and that is closely aligned with the current concept of an IETF Stream. To me that is an indication that if other streams would want to use the FYI series we need clarification.
