[rfc-i] What, never!?

As you know, RFCs never change once published. However, the RFC-online
process, that has been re-entering the "lost" early RFCs, brings up an
exception.
We recently got an Errata report for RFC 68, an RFC-online document that
has been restored. We have generally tried hard to avoid NEW errors
creeping into the restored documents, but in the case of RFC 68 we failed.
Policy: an errata report for an error that existed in the original
version of a restored RFC will be retained as an erratum and the error
will be left in the repository. However, if the errata report specifies
a transcription error that was added during restoration of the document
online, then the RFC Editor will change the restored document to remove
the transcription error.
Thus, the RFC Editor will fix RFC 68 and delete the corresponding errata
report.
