[Python-Dev] Obsoleted RFCs

Sat Jun 8 09:45:45 CEST 2013

Here is attached a list of obsoleted RFCs referred in the *.rst, *.txt, 
*.py, *.c and *.h files. I think it would be worthwhile to update the 
source code and documentation for more modern RFCs.

For example for updating RFC3548 to RFC4648 there is an issue #16995.
