That's how we're leaving it?
If you go back and review the mail thread you will find that the objection was given to this list months after consensus was already obtained. That is the cost of failing to review documents in a timely fashion. This group can decided to revise the standard but it would be a new document. The Internet Draft is not a published document. I seem to remember that one of the chairs at the time was going to develop a web site to publish pointers to documents and their status much as each IETF working group has. Unfortunately, such a page was never created. I might add that the blocking issue for an OpenAFS implementation of draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names is the need for changes to Ubik as discussed at the last hackathon held in Pittsburgh last year.
