Most people don't even realize the errata exists. So if you go about saying
"RFC XXXX says 'blah'", and 'blah' was part of the errata, then others whoe
only have the original RFC (most people) are going to be confused or think you
are an idiot.

No. The IETF does not republish w/out changing the RFC number. As this is a
cumbersome process, it is only done for big problems.
