-===== Current File Management, Issue Tracking, and Version Control =====
+===== Legacy File Management, Issue Tracking, and Version Control =====
+**Note that the RPC is moving away from the following process, which had been in place for many years.** The RPC is now placing documents in GitHub repos, but editors are still sharing documents and diff files with authors via the legacy file management system.

 When the RPC receives an email message announcing that a document has been approved, a member of the RPC runs a script to add that document's files to an internal directory on rfcpa.rfc-editor.org where all editing work takes place. The document's filename contains the same version number as the document that was approved. That is, if draft-ietf-foo-bar-03 was approved, then its filename remains draft-ietf-foo-bar-03.xml as it is being worked on.
