Hello,

Just to confirm Leo's observation.

For each RIPE document, you can find on our website in the metadata on the righthand side in chronological order which previous versions were updated by that version. If the document was obsoleted by another document, the metadata will also show that. In addition, the document itself will show "This document is obsoleted by ripe-xxx".
See for example:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-708

In the related pdf-version you can find the information which RIPE document has been obsoleted by that document:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-708/at_download/pdf

If you would find in any RIPE document some information missing, please let me know in a direct message and I will follow up.

The RIPE Policy page has a chronological order. Other order mechanism are available in the document store, for example to see all IPv6 related documents.
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs

I hope this clarifies.

Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC

  Leo, Open many RIPE-NNN documents which are old. You will not find anything 
in it stating “Obsoleted by RIPE-XXX”.
Open similar RIPE-XXX document which obsoletes RIPE-NNN. You will not find anything in it stating “Obsoletes RIPE-NNN”. I’m happy you were able to find an example where that works, but there are many examples where it doesn’t.
I have been looking through a selection of newer and older documents and 
haven't yet found one without a meticulous history in the metadata panel on the 
righthand side of the page. There might well be the occasional omission, 
although I haven't seen any. If you have found some, letting the RIPE NCC staff 
know so that they can fix them is the right thing to do. Just asserting that 
there are many examples where there isn't a history is unhelpful.

Kind regards,

Leo Vegoda
