What's your opinion on our exposure to the exponential backtracking problem with the existing regex?
I don't know.
I do know that reworking these will be difficult without proper tests, given the large body of docs it needs to work for, and that what we currently have hasn't caused apparent issues in all the years of deployment.
Just curious when this change will roll-out to the IETF websites, including rfc-editor.org/rfc/ and datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/ ?
Fixes https://github.com/ietf-tools/datatracker/issues/3466
Also update the regex syntax for python3, to silence some deprecation warnings on import.
