[Old-standards] Re: List of Old Standards to be retired

[Eric Rosen]

I see this exercise has already reached the point of absurdity. 

How can it possibly be worth anyone's time to look at each telnet option and
determine whether it  is deployed?  What possible purpose  could be achieved
by  changing the  standards status  of some  telnet option?   Is  there some
chance that someone is going to implement one of these by mistake somehow? 

A similar comment applies to the FDDI  MIB.  Are we trying to make sure that
no one  implements that MIB by mistake?   Or that no one  implements FDDI by
mistake, just because he thinks there's an IETF standard about it? 

Let me echo Bob Braden's "if it's not broken, why break it?" query.
