also 6122 is replaced with 7622, updated rarely, but updated often enough it seems.
I never mentioned "core" for a reason, I used the words "to get an idea of how to implement a client" for a reason. perhaps "recommend" is wrong, but they still list 23 RFCs as relevant.
And I'm talking clients mainly as in pre-existing ones, where every landed XEP might need to be implemented if its codified for a given year, even if its removed the very next year.
And by fact of XMPP being still updated, means parity chasing is still happening.
I'm eager for IRCv3 to end as opposed to becoming a living specification, because no one of any popular client seems even slightly interested in chasing parity anymore, the constant slow trickle of things to change must be so insanely wearing.
I don't disagree with "its the best we've got" but when other areas of software development have like, 20 best-we've-gots, but live text communication has 2 best-we've-gots, I would love to see that change, despite not having the skills to do so (but I plan to try regardless!)
