I'm fine with the contents of the document itself. However, it's listed as Standards Track, as such maybe it should update RFC791. Otherwise, what is the intended Standards Track progression we expect to see for for this document, If we don't intend a progression would it be better as a BCP or Informational status then?
I believe this is a first step in the formal depreciation of IPv4, as such it is subtly changing the status of RFC791, and therefore it should update RFC791. If we were deprecating IPv4 that would likely be an update to RFC791 to change it's status to Historic. The progression I expect, is at some future date we either take additional steps toward the formal deprecation of IPv4 or actually formally deprecate IPv4. Lets be honest, one purpose of this document is as more of a press release issued as an RFC. As such I think it's important for ISOC and others do press releases based on this document. However, I think it can be more than that if we treat it as more than that. Let's also use it as a catalyst to change our behavior as the IETF, which I read as one of it purposes as well. I think ensuring a metadata linkage with RFC791 could help this change occur. Thanks.
