Brian, et.al.,
We could of course update 3812 (and 3813), though this would probably
lead to another discussion on what updates means.
What is refereed to is that there is now another preferred method for
configuration - netconf/yang. In fact this draft doe not change 3812 or
propose a change, so there can not be an update. The document is just
noting that there is a change in the environment, and that for the time
being it will use RFC 3812 as specified.
Maybe Benoit have a take on this?

Summary: Ready with minor issues
--------
Comment:
--------
I have not reviewed most details of the MIB module itself. As usual,
I trust the MIB Doctors.
"We know of a handful of implementations (or intent to implement)."
Good. It would have been nice to see an Implementation Status section
under RFC 6982.
Minor issues:
-------------
At the time of writing, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SET
is no longer recommended as a way to configure MPLS networks as
was
described in RFC 3812 [RFC3812].
RFC3812 is explicit that it should be used for configuration:
This MIB module should be used in conjunction with the
companion document [RFC3813] for MPLS based traffic engineering
configuration and management.
RFC3812 has not been formally updated or obsoleted. Therefore, it
seems
to me that the present draft should formally update RFC3812 in this
respect.
Does the same issue apply to RFC3813, whose Abstract also states that
it is used to configure an LSR?
