- The functionality is promoted in IETF Hackathons.
- The ability and procedure to submit errata is not well known or used, and errata that is submitted is not always processed in a timely fashion.
- An experiment with [collaborative annotations](https://rfc-annotations.research.icann.org/) for RFCs related to DNS has been sponsored by ICANN.
