This lineage is derived automatically from the “obsoletes” relationships recorded in the public RFC Editor index — no editorial judgement is applied to the ordering. The most recent document in the chain is RFC 7296 (October 2014).

metasystema indexes the public RFC Editor index maintained by the RFC Editor on behalf of the IETF. It is an independent project, not affiliated with the IETF or the RFC Editor. Explanations here are editorial summaries; the RFC text itself is always the authoritative source.
