It just updates the part > that talks about ICMP. Updating an RFC often means just updating a part. Iit's important for for someone who want to do a registry action about ICMPv6 and may look at RFC 2780. Because you tell RFC Editor that this spec updates RFC 2780, there will be a pointer in the index from RFC 2780 to this spec, guiding the person here. It's a help if someone is doing an RFC-index based search for how to register. > > > as well as obsoleting the previous ICMPv6 spec. > > We already have "This document obsoletes RFC 2463 [RFC-2463]." > line in the introduction of the current draft. Is it not > enough ? > My comment didn't mean you needed to add more statements about obsoleting RFC 2463 to the draft, just add the one fact to the other. And it would be good to ask your AD put the RFC obsoleted and RFC updated info in the writeup, so the RFC Editor doesn't have to dig it out of the spec. > > new IANA Considerations are great.
