> I think it would be good to formally archive the final version. At the same time I don't think it would be good to publish it as a separate RFC, because that would then give it too much visibility.

I agree with this.

Since the IESG has to approve the Tao, this seems workable:
1. Have them issue a statement saying "he's dead, Jim" or whatever.
2. At the same time, ask Greg or his designee to remove public-facing links to the existing document so that it's not found any more.
3. Put a note at the top of the document saying this is dead, and pointing to the IESG statement.
