Status UNKNOWN [Carpenter] #2

Open ekr opened 1 year ago

ekr commented 1 year ago

About 887 early RFCs are shown with status UNKNOWN.

The policy question is whether the RPC should be requested to reclassify these as HISTORIC by default, with a best effort in conjunction with the various streams to identify any alternative classifications.

This is super-low priority. For most developers, there is no essential difference between "unknown" and "historic". When the question comes up for a particular RFC, it can be dealt with then.
