Greetings again. One topic that the RSWG might take up is to document how newly-minted RFCs relate to older RFCs: "updates" and "obsoletes". The latter is well-understood (but still undocumented), but "updates" causes consternation for draft writers. The proposed document could give general guidance for when to use "updates" and "obsoletes", and might also delve into the many edge cases for "updates".
