Thanks a lot for the write-up! Keeping IANA accurate and up-to-date, especially
from a security perspective, is definitely important.

On the topic of whether this should be a -bis or marked as obsoletes, I’m
honestly not sure what the best approach is. That said, since the new text is
quite different from the original, it doesn’t feel like a traditional -bis to
me. Personally, I’d lean more toward marking it as obsoletes.

However, it looks like the current direction has WG consensus, as reflected in
the shepherd’s write-up. While it’s a bit unusual, I don’t see a strong reason
to block progress on that basis, so I’m happy to let it move forward as is.
