There’s no such thing as rejected in IETF. The timestamp is artificially set to 6 months from the I-D published date. Expired draft could mean many things:
- there was not enough consensus to proceed - draft editors lost interest - draft editors didn’t have time to update the draft in time - or perhaps the document was not suited to be published by IETF The only thing I can say is that the document was not adopted by any working group and that it expired due lack of updates.
