Agreed, you cannot rely on a replacement transaction would somehow invalidate a previous version of it, it has been spoken into the gossip and exists there in mempools somewhere if it does, there is no guarantee that anyone has ever heard of the replacement transaction as there is no consensus about either the previous version of the transaction or its replacement until one of them is mined and the block accepted. -DA.

It's not an "attack"? There is no such thing as an out-of-date transaction, if
you signed and broadcasted it in the first place. You can't rely on
the fact that
a replacement transaction would somehow invalidate a previous version of it.
