Automatic replacement does not work if individual doc expires before WG doc is published #2348

Hello

In Bess we have experienced the following. A document (draft-sajassi-bess-evpn-igmp-mld-proxy-01) was adopted as WG document and marked as such in the datatracker (2017-03-07): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sajassi-bess-evpn-igmp-mld-proxy/history/

However the document expired before the authors republished as draft-ietf-bess-evpn-igmp-mld-proxy

The result is that the automatic replacement which normally happens at publication time did not happen.

I believe that even if the individual I-D has expired it would still be good to have it automatically replaced by the WG document when this one gets published.

Thank you
