According to the draft minutes, as of the end of IETF 98, the plan was to
eliminate the "up" link relation from authorization to order since an
authorization can belong to multiple orders and nobody seemed to rely on
this relation. However, I still see this "up" relation on GitHub. Is the
plan still to remove that "up" relation, has the plan changed, or is the
plan to wait and see if anyone uses the relation first?

As for the "up" link relation from challenge to authorization (not
mentioned on slides), this could encounter a similar problem. As a simple
example to illustrate the potential problem, assume a server issues an
order with two authorizations: one authorization for (http-01 or dns-01),
and another authorization for (tls-sni-02 or dns-01). To prevent the client
having to complete the same challenge twice, assume that the server used
the same dns-01 challenge instance for both authorizations. For the common
dns-01 challenge, where does the "up" relation point to? This could become
a more significant issue as new identifiers, challenges, etc. are added in
the future. How should this be addressed?

Sincerely,

Logan Widick
