I just tried mailing the authors of an expired draft using the draft-...@ietf.org alias.  The mail bounced.

What sort of guarantees exist for these email aliases?  The name of a draft is forever, so I'd suggest that it makes sense for the aliases to be kept indefinitely also.

Or is this an important part of maintaining the fiction that drafts expire?
