Re: [TLS] AD review of draft-ietf-tls-oldversions-deprecate-06

[Benjamin Kaduk <[e-mail]>]

Thanks, Sean, the linked pull requests seem to do the trick.

Skimming through
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/K9_uA6m0dD_oQCw-5kAbha-Kq5M/ once
more, I think I still plan to put out a status-change document to move RFC
5469 (IDEA and DES ciphers) to Historic in parallel with the IETF LC for
this document.  It is probably not critical that we mention such a change
in the document text, though we could if we want to.

I think we still need to check for the latest version of the SP800-52r2
reference, too.

Thanks again,

Ben
