Creating a perpetual I-D archive for the sake of rfcdiff is not a good
idea as it goes against the notion of letting an I-D expire gracefully.
Speaking as a document reviewer for both Gen-ART and the Independent
Submission stream, and for that matter as a generic reviewer of various
WG documents, I consider the I-D archive to be an invaluable resource.
Looking back to see when a particular change was made can be quite
important.
It's not always about what is best for *you* or for other reviewers.
It's about what encourages a more open exchange of ideas.
If the community doesn't think that ID expiration serves that purpose
anymore, fine. However, let's make this decision on *that* basis.
