The MIB Doctors who have expressed opinions on this matter are pretty
solidly against the idea of having RFC 4181 listed in rfc-index.txt
as updating RFCs 2578/2579/2580.  So I will send a note to the RFC
Editor asking that this change NOT be made.  I have already sent a
note to the RFC Editor asking that an erratum be created for the
typos, as Bert previously suggested.
