Folks,
Even if citations weren’t an issue, we are really reaching into the distant
past.
- NFSv2 was specified by RFC 1094 in 1989.
o I was 31 years old then.
- NFS2 was obsoleted by NFSv4 (RFC 3010) in 2000.
- RFC 3010 was obsoleted by RFC 3530 in 2003
- RFC 3530 was obsoleted by RFC 7530 in 2015
- We are citing NFSv2 in a draft that will be published in 2019
o I will be 61 years old by then.

They don’t need to be deleted if you include them deliberately. There is no
prohibition on citing such RFCs for your own documents historical background.

But, always worth including a "do be deleted" note to the reviewers to stop
then all sending in feedback about the nits failure.

Fred,
If the NFSv2 and iPERF issues are not blocking, I would like to omit them. The
following are rational:
...
- Mechanically, it is difficult to reference an RFC that has been obsoleted in
an internet draft. The NIT checker complains bitterly.
Those complaints are warnings only to help those who cite such documents
inadvertently; you can simply ignore them. (I do all the time - esp. for
historical discussions that cite early versions of newer RFCs or historical
standards).
