Review of draft-fenner-obsolete-1264-02.txt Summary: this is reasonable and it should be approved. I have 2 small nits, that can be addressed or not.
Small nit #1: In the abstract it says: ... In today's Internet, there are so many other pressures against deploying unreasonable protocols that we believe that existing controls suffice, and the RFC 1264 rules just get in the way. It is somewhat unclear who the 'we' is. It would be good to clarify who 'we' are. Small nit #2: At the time of this writing, there is an IETF working group (newtrk) chartered to update the IETF Standards Process. Since this work is ongoing, we encourage those who believe there should be different rules for different types of protocols to participate in that work in order to clarify the qualifications. The biggest problem we've experienced is to perform a precise classification of when to apply additional constrains and when not to. Isn't newtrk shutting down? It might not be good to encourage people to try to address changes in that WG, as it won't be around once this draft is published as an RFC.
