Yes, I should have made this more clear.

Still, the archive does not tell me what the current status is — it only has the (mostly wrong) expiry language in it.

(People do get upset quickly when the legacy tools scripts manage to miss a status update on a tools I-D, for good reasons.)

So, yes, I’ll continue to rsync over the archive, but I also would like to have a web page I can hand out links to that combines the archived I-D with information about whether it is current, has been updated, replaced, expired, published as an RFC, etc.  And I would like that web page to be the canonical home of an I-D.
