RFC3627 to Historic status

Abstract
This document moves RFC3627 (Use of /127 Prefix Length Between
Routers Considered Harmful) to HISTORIC status to reflect the updated
guidance contained in RFC6164 (Using 127-Bit IPv6 Prefixes on Inter-
Router Links). While a standards track document already supersedes
an informational document and therefore RFC6164 is the appropriate
guidance to follow when the two documents are in conflict, this links
the two documents so that it is clearer that the IETF has updated
guidance on the matter.

Internet-Draft 3627-historic December 2011
1. Introduction
This document moves RFC 3627 [RFC3627] to HISTORIC status in
accordance with RFC 2026 [RFC2026]. It has been superseded by
RFC 6164 [RFC6164]. While a standards track document already
supersedes an informational document and therefore RFC6164 is the
appropriate guidance to follow when the two documents are in
conflict, this may not be clear to casual readers who are not
completely familiar with the differences in IETF document types.
This document adds the necessary link between the two documents so
that those referring to RFC3627 for guidance will see that it has
been obsoleted by updated guidance on the matter, thus hopefully
eliminating any confusion that may be present.
2. Acknowledgements
Thanks to Brian Carpenter, Bob Hinden, and Ron Bonica for guidance on
the matter, and to Pekka Savola and Miya Kohno and the other authors
of 6164 for their support.
3. IANA Considerations
This memo includes no request to IANA.
4. Security Considerations
This draft introduces no new security considerations.
