Hi,

Was there any conclusion of what to do here, which I think applies to errata 
6648: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=6648

I don't think that this is an errata that can be verified, hence I'm 
questioning whether "Held for document update" would be both correct and 
helpful.  Would it be useful to update the text of the errata at all, or 
alternatively, I could just point to this thread in the notes.

Any opinions on how I should process this?

Regards,
Rob
