Subject: end-of-rfc-index.txt

I'd like to suggest that rfc/rfc-index.txt
have at its end a terminating

'this list of RFCs was valid as of $Date$'.

so that you have some idea of the freshness of your chosen mirror.

(It would make more sense to me if this was at the top and the list
 was ordered reverse-chronologically so that the first search for a
 keyword found the obsoleting rather than the several-times-obsoleted,
 but I can't see much chance of that happening. Being forced to read
 history is probably good for you, in any case.)
