- This is mostly true. However, the rfc-index.txt file is updated
- frequently; if you have an old version of this, you might be directed to
- read an old version of an RFC (for instance, unless you have a recent
- rfc-index.txt you'll think that "Assigned Numbers" is RFC 1060, not RFC
- 1340).
-
- Also, the documents in the FYI series are updated with the same numbers.
