If you use ietf-cli to mirror RFCs for convienence, you may see this error:
Making the RFC status index
Could not dump status info to
'/var/db/ietf-mirrors/in-notes/ietf-rfc-status.json'. Exiting.
There is a Pull Request to fix it, but it seems upstream hasn't yet
reacted to it. the pull request works for me, and makes sense.
OK?

A: None. The Universe spins the bulb, and the Zen master stays out
of the way.
