YMMV, but if an RFC updates a previous one then referring to the updated RFC really ought to pull in the all the updates because it’s expected that all implementations of the original RFC also implemented the updates.  Adding the additional references would be the cautious thing to do but I’m thinking it shouldn’t be required that we do that.  Also note we 2119-recommend OCSP :)

This *really* further opens up that can of worms!

IIUC you are taking the position that once an update to RFCnnnn is 
published then *every* implementation of RFCnnnn must/will immediately 
implement and deploy the update. That seems unrealistic.

The situation is slightly different when we are talking about a 
reference in a new document that will of necessity get a new 
implementation. Even so, it seems unwise to make such an assumption. It 
is cheap to add the reference to the updating document.
