It's a treasure. I feel for those expressing their loss - and at the same time am slightly in awe that IANA used to be "just some guy" - this plus the April Fool tradition gives the RFC series a very approachable human feeling.

I knew and worked with both Vint and Jon at UCLA ... reading that (again) brings tears to my eyes.

P.S. Another RFC memorializing Jon: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2441
