Actually, I thought I'd deleted most of those files... Either CVS did me a dirty or I forgot to commit the changes before cutting the release. I'll investigate when I get home to a free country (I'm in the US until next week, and hence carefully avoiding doing any work on crypto stuff).

I don't think there is much point in us shipping copies of the RFCs; they are already widely available. The things we should be shipping as part of the distribution are documents which are important and *not* widely available. I strongly suspect that there is now nothing left in the ietf-drafts directory that (a) is not an RFC and (b) we claim to implement, but I didn't have time to confirm that before 0.91.

However, having a document which *points* people to the relevant RFCs sounds like a very good idea. How about deleting references to us shipping them, and adding a note on where to find them?
