Deprecation Field

[znepb]

Some standards may be deprecated over time, (nfp, nft, etc). It would be a good idea to have a field for deprecated standards for RFCs.

[SammyForReal]

I like that idea, but how do we tell if a standard is deprecated?

[znepb]

There are a couple options for this. We could have an addition to the header area:

...
*Last updated: 2022-11-07*

*Deprecated: No*
...```

Or, a special name of the standard (e.g. CCSMB-D...) could be used.

[SammyForReal]

No I mean like, when is a standard deprecated? What are the conditions for this to happen.

[znepb]

It could be superseded by another standard (e.g. nfp to bimg), or it could just not be used anymore / widely unsupported. A sort-of council could be created to decide if something should be deprecated or not.

i think that naming the file DEPRECATED_CCSMB-n would make it easier to understand
you dont even need to read the document to see that it is Deprecated
