This document retires and obsoletes the Tao of the IETF as an IETF-maintained document.It includes the rationale for the retirement and the last edition of the Tao as published via the processdescribed in RFC 6722. I see no operational or manageability issues with retiring the Tao of the IETF. This document is READY, but there are some nits. The most obvious one i that Section 2.1 messes some of the dates and RFC numbers. I suggest the following edit:

OLD:

   The Tao was originally published as [RFC1391] in January 1993.  In
   the following 17 years, four additional versions of the Tao were
   published as RFCs: [RFC1539] in October 1998, [RFC1718] in November
   1994, [RFC3160] in August 2001, and [RFC4677] in September 2006.  In
   August 2012, [RFC4677] was published to document the process for
   publishing the Tao as a webpage so that it “can be updated more
   easily”.
