advise how to proceed.
Thanks!

So I agree that strictly "replacing" Section 3 may be too much, but we should strongly discourage
its use. Perhaps its enough to state that the draft "obsoletes" (or "deprecates"?) RFC
8078 Section 3?
I was thinking to write something like:
OLD:
This document updates [@!RFC8078] and replaces its Section 3 with
(#bootstrapping) of this document.
NEW:
This document obsoletes Section 3 of [@!RFC8078] in favor of
(#bootstrapping) of this document.
In doing so, I remember the Obsoletes: RFC header. Looking into it, it seems to
apply to an RFC as a whole (not only to a Section, as is the case here).
I started considering what's the difference between obsoleting RFC 8078 Section
3, and the RFC as a whole. The differences would be:
- Besides Section 3 (which we want to obsolete), RFC 8078 has normative
language in Section 4 (Disabling DNSSEC with Null CDS record), and in Section 5
(Security Considerations). I guess we don't want to obsolete Section 4. But if
the whole RFC was obsoleted, the relevant aspects of Section 5 could be
migrated to the new draft.
- RFC 8078 elevates RFC 7344 from Informational to Standards Track. Would that be
"undone" by obsoleting RFC 8078? (I guess not?)
- Similarly, RFC 8078 registers the "Delete DS" algorithm. This continues to be
needed. Would it collide with obsoleting the RFC?
I can imagine that having all bootstrapping-related stuff in one document (and
obsoleting the former), that would make things easier to digest for readers. On
the other hand, I don't know how the above situation would be best handled.
Input from more experienced IETFers is appreciated.
Best,
Peter
